Final report:

During the Surgical Mission in March 2015, performed by the Milan guest surgeons, Maffo should have been operated too. Unfortunately her family was not reachable. Br. Boniface did everything to contact the family but without success. According to the agreement between MI-DO and the Heart Foundation Shisong/Kumbo the donations were transferred to the next person in need.

Yvana, 4 years old, had a congenital heart malformation and suffered from a pulmonary stenosis. Yvana was successfully operated on the 12th of March by Dr. Charles Mvondo and his team. During the stay Yvana was cared by her mother. There was no complication during and after the surgery and Yvana and her family are enjoying the new life. 

Yvana's parents are subsistence farmers and care for five children. It would not have been possible to operate Yvana without financial support.

Yvana's parents express their heartful thanks to the MI-DO community!

Maffo, who is only two years old, has already spent many days in hospital. She has been ill since birth and she was treated many times at the Chantal Biya Foundation for chest pains and continuous fever. Dr. Chelo David, convinced that Maffo suffered from a malformation of the heart, sent her to the Cardiac Centre Shisong for further tests. There, an echocardiogram allowed Dr. Cabral Tantchou to diagnose a malformation of the ventricular septum which must be quickly operated. 

Maffo's parents have practically no income. her mother is a housewife and her father is unemployed. Nevertheless they hope to raise 200.000 FCFA (€ 305,34) towards the operation costs.

Please contribute financially to this urgent operation. We thank you in advance for your precious donation.

March 2015: During the Surgical Mission in March, performed by the Milan guest surgeons, Maffo should have been operated too. Unfortunately her family was not reachable. Br. Boniface will do everything to contact the family and any news will be communicated here.
