The National Coordinator of Global Initiative for Peace Love and Care (GIPLC), Mr. Nuhu Fulani Kwajafa, has again come to the rescue of another set of conjoined twins, Hassana and Hussaina, who were born triplet. While one of the triplet is fine, the two are conjoined sharing the same stomach and vital organs.
Members of Burjeel Medical5g City Hospital, Abu Dhabi, deliberating on the conjoined sisters
A Dubai Hospital, Burjeel Medical City, Abu Dhabi, UAE, that put the bill for the surgery to separate the girls at over $300,000 (Three hundred thousand dollars), after assessing the case, has offered to do the surgery for free. Another hospital in London sent GIPLC a bill of £896,000 (Eight hundred and ninty six thousand pounds) for the operation.
Mr. Kwajafa had earlier posted on social media that:
“Following consultations with various doctors in the UK and Dubai (UAE), we are made to understand that Hassana and Hussaina’s case is the first of it’s kind, and a surgical procedure to separate them would cost over $300,000. So, after weeks of discussions with a hospital in Dubai (UAE), they have offered to do the surgery for free on humanitarian grounds. In fact, their Chairman has a keen interest in the case, and has also offered to send a team of doctors to Nigeria to accompany the family back to UAE; for a projected 9 months post-surgery stay for close observations to complete recovery. The surgery will be conducted by Doctors from Italy, USA and the UAE.”
Hassana and Hussaina's parents are poor family from a village near Zaria, and can hardly feed themselves. When the triplets were born in Zaria, they were kept at the Ahmadu Bello Teaching Hospital, Zaria, for eight months with the hospital not knowing exactly what to do with them, until GIPLC interfered.
During one of GIPLC's fund drives for the family's upkeep at Gwagwalada Teaching Hospital where they have been for the past three months (and where most of the tests on the conjoined children were conducted), Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner for Kaduna State Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs, sent N600,000 (Six hundred thousand naira) for their care, and promised to be involed in their surgery.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai also promised to do something when the bills are out for the surgery.
Mr. Nuhu Kwajafa said he is still soliciting for funds to transport the conjoined sisters and their family to Dubai and for their feeding and housing in Dubai. Mr Nuhu Kwajafa is appealing to all Nigerians for support.
