Al-Ameen Odunsi, five-month-old son of Taofeeq Odusin, a principal news producer at Voice of Nigeria, has been diagnonised with heart defect.

 

An echocardiography showed complete atrioventricular canal defect with moderate pulmonary hypertension.

According to a medical report signed by Dr. Majiyagbe Omotola, a consultant paediatrician at Massey Street Children’s Hospital, Lagos, Al-Ameen needs further cardiovascular evaluation and surgical correction of the cardiac defect in order to prevent life-threatening complications.

As members of the fourth estate, we hereby solicit the support of Nigerians, corporate organisations as well as philanthropists to come to the rescue of Al-Ameen so that he gets a chance to live like any other child, and be reunited with his family.

Mr. and Mrs. Odunsi have been in and out of hospital in the last few days for medical appointments, as efforts are being made to drain fluid in the heart of Al-Ameen in the coming days.

Baby Al-Ameen is expected to undergo the heart surgery at the Evercare Hospital Lekki, Lagos, as soon as the fund is raised.
