THE mother of a four-month-old baby girl is seeking financial assistance of $13,700 (about sh23m) for the baby to undergo open-heart surgery in India.
Merian Namirembe, was diagnosed with tetralogy of fallot, a congenital heart disease, at the Uganda Heart Institute in Mulago Hospital on November 1.
“The doctors told me that she has a hole in her heart and that one of her arteries is too small to pump blood,†said Juliana Musoke, the baby’s mother, a resident of Mutungo, a city suburb.
The institute’s deputy director, Dr. John Omagino, recommended that the baby be flown to Frontier Lifeline Cardiac Hospital in India for surgery.
