He emphasized the need for increased awareness, funding, and access to quality healthcare to address the critical health issue of congenital heart defects.

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.
