Success Story

On September 12th 2016  Samuel was successfully operated by Dr. Charles Mvondo and his team! Samuel recovered soon and very well and is now at home with his parents and enjoys his new life. Samuel will come regularly for controls or in the Cardiac Centre or near his home when the Cardiac Centre Team is on Screening Tour.

Samuel's parents thank immensely MI-DO and the whole Cardiac Centre Team for the big support that has made a miracle in the life of their child.

Many children in Central-West-Africa with heart problems have a similar story like Samuel. For many years Samuel has been treated for malaria but the reason for his complains like strong cough, persistent fever and fatigue had an other origine. Thank's God, a medical doctor in Yaoundè realized that Samuel could have a heart problem and referred him to the Cardiac Centre Shisong for better management.  There Dr. Jean-Claude Ambassa diagnosed an atrial septal defect and recommanded an urgent surgical intervention.

As a moto-taxi-driver Samuel's father earns enough to provide for his family of 5 children but he could never afford the full amount for the heart surgery. Nevertheless the family will contribute € 458,00.

Therefore the assistance of the MI-DO community is highly appreciated. We thank you in advance for your donation!
