Little Pius Naab Mbalebna, a Kindergarten pupil of the Ola school complex was diagnosed of a hole-in-heart condition which is known as double outlet right ventricle.
According to a document seen by a1radioonline.com and signed by Dr. Samuel Blay Nguah Special Pediatrician at the Department of Child Health of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Little Pius was first seen at the hospital on March 1, 2013.
An echocardiogram which was therefore done on 7th March, 2015 revealed that the child had Tetralogy of fallot with good size confluent pulmonary arteries.
He was then referred to the Cardiothoracic Centre of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra where he was diagnosed of the said condition.
His worried father Benjamin Naab narrating to A1 News, said his son looks pale and usually lie on his stomach while having little or no appetite for food.
Little Pius born on May 20, 2012 needs the cedi equivalent of US $8,000 for a surgery to correct the defect.
Mr. Naab has been making frantic efforts to raise the needed amount but it is not enough. He is therefore making a passionate appeal to the general public, NGOs, Cooperate organizations, individuals and philanthropist to help him save the precious life of Pius.
He further cautioned parents to pay much attention to their children’s health needs while advising parents surf the internet and do research on the sickness in order to know much about it.
Little drops of water makes a mighty ocean, your little donation will go a long way to save the life of 4 year old little Pius.
