He emphasized the need for increased awareness, funding, and access to quality healthcare to address the critical health issue of congenital heart defects.
“It’s heartening to know that, with proper medical care, 139 children have benefited from treatment so far. I am excited to support the ambitious goal of HfH to reach 150 successful cases annually and encourage them to work tirelessly towards this target,” Mr. Peter Obi said
The Saving Little Hearts Program is a visionary initiative that aims to reduce medical tourism, stem medical brain drain, and provide vital support to underprivileged families in Nigeria.
By equipping local medical personnel with cutting-edge technology and patient care practices, this program is committed to enhancing healthcare for Nigerian children. Together, we can change the narrative on healthcare matters and create a brighter future for our children.
