Help 7mths old Fatima raise money for transplant

Fatima was born on August 6 2020 to Aliyu and Sadiya Muhammad, a month earlier than her expected date through cesarean section. There were signs of jaundice at birth and despite appropriate jaundice treatment baby Fatima did not get better.

Baby Fatima’s health kept on deteriorating and at 4 months her parents took her to the GENERAL HOSPITAL MINNA, they referred her to MUSTAPHA SPECIALIST HOSPITAL MINNA – who are specialists in the field. At MUSTAPHA SPECIALIAST HOSPITAL MINNA an abdominopelvic ultrasound was carried out in efforts to understand what was wrong, she was diagnosed with Biliary Artesia.

After the diagnosis, the specialist at MUSTAPHA SPECIALIST HOSPITAL MINNA referred her parents to UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA TEACHING HOSPITAL GWAGWALADA, an appointment was booked and the parents were asked to come to the hospital after a week. A week later samples were taken from baby Fatima and results were available after one week. After a lengthy session with the medical consultant at UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA TEACHING HOSPITAL GWAGWALADA, the consultant concluded that the golden time for correcting the blockage was when baby Fatima was 2 months (she was 4 months at the time of this consultation after spending time treating jaundice). The only way now is to carry out a LIVER TRANSPLANT at either India or Dubai, with India recommended.

After conducting desktop studies her father came across a hospital at India: FORTIS HOSPITAL NOIDA. After contacting FORTIS HOSPITAL NOIDA, they requested to see baby Fatima’s medical report which was sent. The hospital said liver transplant is within $29,000 - $31,000 but they kindly offered to give a discount which brings the cost down to $26,500. A proforma invoice was sent from FORTIS HOSPITAL NOIDA to baby Fatima’s parents to that effect.

Am appealing to the general public to please help me save baby Fatima's life, she cries all night, at 7 months she should be sitting up but the health problem is preventing normal growth for a child her age and whatever she eats gets vomited again as stooling is very difficult for her.

We need urgent help to carry out the liver transplant procedure and restore baby Fatima to sound health, as baby Fatima gets older her chances for survival gets slimmer without the transplant, baby Fatima is currently 7 months old and the doctor said baby Fatima cannot live up to 2 years old with this problem.
