Isatou jobe urgent needed help
Donation protected
Revised introduction on Isatou Baby Isatou is a two month old baby from The Gambia, Sunchu with a severe medical condition needing urgent overseas treatment to survive. She was born premature weighing just 2.6kg with a defect which the Doctors diagnosed as severe acute malnutrition with possible congenital oesphageal fistula or trachea- oesphageal fistula.
In lay man’s terms this is a rare birth defect condition which “causes air to pass from the windpipe to the oesophagus and stomach, and stomach acid to pass into the lungs. These defects mean the baby won't be able to swallow safely, if at all. They could also develop life-threatening problems such as choking and pneumonia if not treated quickly, so surgery will usually be carried out within a few days of birth.” NHS UK Website https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/oesophageal-atresia/
The Medical Research Center (MRC) recommended for Isatou’s referral for an assessment and surgical treatment of possible congenital oesphageal fistula or trachea-oesphageal fistula.
Her chances of surviving in The Gambia without overseas treatment is very slim and she needs urgent overseas treatment to make sure she can recover. Isatou currently feeds through a tube in her nose which she needs to be reinserted into her stomach every day. You can imagine the toll this takes on the body of a premature baby.
Isatou’s Dad, Sheickh Omar Jobe is a mechanic and her mother is unemployed. They are calling on any generous person, charitable organisations, philanthropist, medical institutions or government to help save the life of Isatou before it’s too late.
