Final report

Marivon has not responded to our offer of treatment and has decided not to come to her operation without telling us why. Pursuant to the agreement between MI-DO and the Heart Foundation Shisong/Kumbo the resources were allocated to the next urgent case.

The funds collected for Marivon has thus been used for the urgent operation needed by 18-year old Solange. Solange lost her parents three years ago in a car accident and is now under the responsibility of her older sister, who workes as a seamstress. Solange suffered from  heart problems for two years before Dr. Jean Claude Ambassa diagnosed both a mitral insufficiency and an aortic insufficiency and Solange had to be operated. Dr. Charles Mvondo and his team operated on 3 March 2016 and the procedure was a success.

Solange and her sister thank wholeheartedly the comunity of MI-DO donators and the team of the Cardiac Centre!

Marivon lives with her parents and six brothers and sisters in the grassland of Northwest Cameroon. People from this region marked by alterations of extreme humidity and drought, or of heat and cold, often suffer from cough and fever. This is why it takes sometimes so long to identify these problems as symptoms of cardiac diseases. Marivon's health deteriorated over more than two years before she was sent to the Cardiac Centre Shisong, where Dr. Tanchou Cabral diagnosed a serious mitral insufficiency, that can only be corrected surgically. The small rural exploitation of her parents brings barely enough to feed their seven children. They will contribute all their savings and the money they can raise in their larger family to Marivon's operation.

Together with the community of MI-DO donors the operation will be possible. Thank you for your contribution!
