A
baby girl that was delivered with many legs and no anus needs N1
million for corrective surgery for her to remain alive, medical experts
said.
Baby Nafisat was born on June 18, 2012 to the family
of Ahmed in Bayo Local Government Area of Borno state. But her parents’
joy was turned to sorrow when she was delivered with complex
abnormalities.
According to medical surgeons, Nafisat needs an intensive surgery to make her remain alive.
But her parents have no means of paying for such
surgery; hence, they called on the Borno state government, especially
the First Lady, to come to their aid.
Dr Adamu Madugu, the Medical Director (MD) of the
Federal Medical Centre, Gombe, said Nafisat risks losing her precious
life if the surgery is not carried out immediately.
He said: “Nafisat was referred to the Federal Medical
Centre, Gombe, and has been admitted in the Special Baby Care Unit with
a case of imperforated anus and multiple abnormalities.
“The patient has to undergo a series of surgery in order to correct various enormities.”
