A six (6) years old Ousman Jatta and Mother, are chronically ill. Ousman was diagnosed with HIRSCPRUGS disease ( difficulty to pass bowels or defecate or chronic constipation). He lost all his appetite for food according to mom andl grandmother . He is extremely weak due to lack of enough nutrients in the body.
His local Doctor recommeded him to go for overseas treatment due to the absence of a Specialist Doctor in The Gambia for such treatment.
A Doctor in Ghana by the name Victor Etwire and Dr.Frehun Ayele was recommeded by Medical City Children's Hospital in Ohio, USA. We will keep you posted which Doctor will be most cost effective to do his surgery.
Ousman's mother has been sick for over 5 years now ,but according to her. We working on helping her to get immediate medical attention to determine her sickness .
Ousman'Medical Report-
According to his medical report dated 17th September, 2019 seen as attached, stated :
" a six year old Male who is presented with a six months history of abdominal swelling with a week history of scrotal swelling.
These were associated with intermittent abdominal pain,constipation and several episodes of vomiting.
What is Hirschsprung disease ?
Hirschsprung disease is a condition you are born with, which causes blockage of the intestine. Children with Hirschsprung disease lack nerves in the bottom segment of the colon. These nerves normally allow the muscles in the wall of the bowel to contract, moving digested material downstream toward the anus, so the waste can be eliminated.
A child’s large intestine is about five feet long – and Hirschsprung disease can affect either a small or large portion of the organ. The condition occurs most commonly in the upper rectum or the sigmoid colon, which is the very last part of the large intestine before stool reaches the anus.
Children with Hirschsprung disease will always need surgery to remove the non-functional segment of the intestine, and to restore the ability to push stool through the digestive tract and out of the body. With proper surgical intervention, the long-term outcomes for children with Hirschsprung disease are excellent, and most will go on to recover normal bowel control and function.
I hope Ousman's medical condition and that of his mother touches our hearts to generously donate as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
