The video features a group of Zambian surgeons who work at the University Teaching Hospital Neurosurgery team. They are seen standing together, hands held high, singing a loud worship song, “Hallelujah”, and clapping. Their celebration followed the successful completion of eight series of major operations.

The surgeons celebrate their work with worship

The specific motivation for the worship was the successful surgery of a young girl from the creator’s hometown of Kwabe, Zambia, who, according to TikTok user @loretta_chingandu, had been given a second chance at life. The content creator asked the public to join the team in thanking God for the miracle. The sight of the dedicated medical professionals, still in their scrubs but lifting their praise, offered a true testament to the emotional investment required for their life-saving work.

Faith in the theatre

We at Briefly News spoke with Elder Ditsego Modupe to discuss the powerful video and explore the relationship between medical science, the power of prayer, and giving thanks for successful outcomes.

The team asked the elder how the church defines a miracle in a context where human skill is also involved. He said:

“A miracle is when the human effort and God’s power meet. The doctors used their skill, but the successful healing, especially when the odds are low, is a gift from God. We thank God for the outcome, not just the surgeons’ work.”

Noting that the team was still in their scrubs when they broke into a worship, we asked the man of God how important it is to thank God immediately after a blessing, rather than waiting for a formal church service or to be in a private space. He responded:

“Gratitude should be instant and immediate. When you feel that relief and joy, you must praise God right away. It shows true faith to stop what you are doing and thank Him right there in the operating room.”

We asked what the most spiritual lesson people should take away from seeing the powerful video. The deacon shared:

“The lesson is to always trust God. Even when facing serious illness or danger, we should trust the doctors, but remember that the true healing power comes from above. Always pray for the hands that heal you.”

SA shows the surgeons' respect

The clip went viral, attracting 647K views, 166K likes, and 4.1K comments from social media users who were deeply touched and emotional by the video. Many viewers praised the doctors as “real-life savers” and expressed profound respect for their commitment and long hours. The display of faith resonated; one user recalled a personal experience where a doctor prayed with their family before a major colon cancer surgery. Others said the specialists were the kind of team they would want when undergoing surgeries, noting that even their ability to perform work successfully is through the Almighty.

"Chills. When I was 37 years old, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had to have my large intestine removed in a long surgery. Right before they put me under, the surgeon joined everyone in the room together for a prayer over me and for a successful surgery. He also prayed with my family when we first went in for consultation. We need more of this 🥲🙏."

"You are real life savers, and angels sent by the brother almighty who is the Holy one."
