1.5 Million Naira surgery bills needed to save life of little Musa

Katsina state government

…victim wasting away.

From Abdul Ardo

A 13 year old Musa from Gungun Rimi community of Tafawa Balewa local government area of Bauchi State is in need of an urgent financial assistance to undergo a spinal cord surgery to enable him to live a meaningful life.

The poor parents of Musa are struggling to make two ends to meet, and cannot raise the sum of One and a half Million Naira required for the surgery of their thirteen year old Musa who fell off from a tree about seven weeks ago and sustain a hip injury, and
certainty for the survival of their child hung heavily on the generosity of well meaning philanthropists who may come to his aid for his survival.

Musa’s father, a poor health attendant at Gwashe Dispensary also in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi state has no financial capacity to cough up the amount to foot the medical bills for Musa ‘s survival.
Malama Jamila Muhammad Kabir the mother, who spoke to our Correspondent, said her son Musa fell off a mango tree and was left with serious cervical injuries that require emergency medical interventions to save him from being permanently paralyzed or sudden death.

According to her, the dreams of her son to become someone helpful to the family, his community and Nigeria at large are obviously slipping away, having diagnosed with the spinal cord injuries.

She said, the road to her son’s recovery seemed break and daunting with medical bills piling up following their poor financial standing.

As it is, Musa is lying down hopelessly at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH) Bauchi waiting for a would be kind-hearted individuals or organization for interventions to enable him to access the surgery he is supposed to undergo.

Malama Jamila Kabir added that it took the compassionate support from some kind individuals including medical workers to enable them to conduct some tests, X-ray, have some medical equipment and to access some drugs.

Jamila Kabir regretted that for the past six weeks they have been on admission, her husband (Musa’s father) could not show up because he could not afford the financial obligations.

She therefore appealed to the Tafawa Balewa local government council, Bauchi state government, Senator representing Bauchi-South Senatorial District, Shehu Umar Buba, other spirited individuals and organisations to come to their rescue.

According to her, as a poor family, they struggle to feed and take care of the ailing Musa and they have exhausted everything. She seldomly said they are left with no option than to seek assistance from government, spirited individuals and organizations.

The thirteen year old Musa who is supposed to be in JSS II, with tears flowing down his chins, said his present condition had hindered him from continuing with his studies while his mates are there attending classes.

On seeing Musa, patients whose conditions are of minor health challenges could feel healed as the saying goes “where greater malady prevails the lesser ones are scarce felt”.
