sometimes it happens that the parents do not bring their child to the Cardiac Centre for surgery, even after several requests and full financial support. Also Bouba was not brought and the exact reason is unknown to us. According to the agreement between the Cardiac Center and MI-DO, the accumulated sum will be allocated to the next urgent case after a certain time.
Oyebuchi, 7 years old, has a congenital heart malformation - a Tetralogy of Fallot. In the middle of November 2017, Oyebuchi was successfully operated by visiting doctors. We got to know Oyebuchi and his mother personally during our annual project visit. Here Oyebuchi is happy about a small gift, a coloring book which should distract him a little bit. He is recovering well and will soon be released from the Cardiac Center.
The parents, Joy and Rufoush, wholeheartedly thank MI-DO for their support and the Cardiac Center's team for their professional and loving care!
Had Bouba been living here in Europe, the origin of his health problems would have been identified much earlier, he would have been treated in due time and the state health insurance would have defrayed all the costs. But Bouba was not that lucky. His bad health has slowed him in his studies ( at 17 years of age, Bouba is in the third year of Secondary School) and he was treated for two years for gastric, a disease which he does not have. Bouba's state of health deteriorated to such a point that he had a heart attack. Members of his family then convinced Bouba's parents to bring him to the Cardiac Centre Shisong, where doctors diagnosed a severe mitral and aortic insufficiency and recommended an urgent operation.
Bouba's parents take care of 10 children and will of course do everything they can to make the operation possible, but they absolutely cannot afford to defray all the costs of the procedure. The money they can raise among their relatives will represent only 7% of the total costs.
The Social Case Office of the Cardiac Centre, represented by Brother Boniface, ask MI-DO donors for their help!
