REQUEST FOR MEDICAL INTERVENTION

INTRODUCTION

With the downturn in the economy and increasing rate of poverty in Nigeria, many families are not able to take care of their medical expenditures as at when needed. In the past few years of our existence as a Foundation, we have had to pay several hospital bills of women and children from poor homes. Our medical intervention programmes have however been hindered due to lack of funds. This is why we present the following cases that need the urgent intervention of your organization.

CASE 2: MRS. JUMAI ISREAL MUSA (BWARI, ABUJA

The case of Mrs. Jumai Israel Musa from Bwari Area Council of the FCT, Abuja is so pathetic. She has spent the last 10 years in severe pain as she has been suffering from an advance bladder infection. Her bladder can no longer hold urine resulting to her frequent urination with painful groaning.

She is married to her husband Mr. Israel who has supported her for the past 10 years in this situation as she is not able to lie down, stand nor even sit. She can only kneel or crawl within the house. Life has become very frustrating for her especially the inability of the family to take care of the financial requirement for her treatment. Mrs. Israel has undergone several medical tests in hospitals. According to medical reports, her case can be treated but will require surgery.

The family cannot afford the high cost of this surgery hence the call for help. The Michael Dato Relief Foundation is therefore seeking the help of well meaning Nigerians to assist in any or both of the above cases as part of your humanitarian services.
