Press Release: Al Muntada Trust concludes life-saving children’s heart operations in Sudan

Wednesday the 28th of November saw the conclusion of Al Muntada Trust’s Little Hearts Campaign in Sudan in which a total of 63 heart operations were carried out on children born with Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs).

The successful operations were carried out by the Trust’s medical volunteers comprising of Surgeons, Intensivists, Anesthesiologists, Fusionists, Respiratory Therapists and Nurses who joined their Sudanese counterparts at the Wad Madani Heart Disease and Surgery Hospital in Wad Madani for a period of Five days

Dr Marc Paquet a volunteer Paediatric Cardiologist and a retired university lecturer from Quebec Canada, emphasised the importance of saving the lives of children, “The whole program literally saves lives. There’s no doubt that many of these children if not seen by a doctor would not live to be adults. So it’s great satisfaction to be able to use my knowledge and experience to help the children of this country (Sudan).”

As well as carrying out life-saving operations, the campaign aimed to build the capacity of the local medical professionals.  Dr Amjad Abdurahman a Sudanese paediatrician,  who carried out his first sole catheterisation operation from start to finish under the supervision of the Little Heart’s medical team says, “I learnt a lot from this campaign. It gave me a lot of confidence.  This project not only helps the children, but also offers us a good opportunity to learn and train. I am one of the staff that have benefited from this project.”

4 year old Mozan Ali, was one of the fortunate children to receive an open heart surgery by the Al Muntada Trust team in Sudan. Mozan was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) heart defect and was admitted to the operation room on Saturday 24th November. Tetralogy (teh-TRAL-o-je) of Fallot (fah-LO) is a congenital heart defect. This is a problem with the heart’s structure that’s present at birth. Congenital heart defects change the normal flow of blood through the heart.Tetralogy of Fallot is a rare, complex heart defect. It occurs in about 5 out of every 10,000 babies. The defect affects boys and girls equally.To understand tetralogy of Fallot, it helps to know how a healthy heart works. The Health Topics How the Heart Works article describes the structure and function of a healthy heart. The article also has animations that show how your heart pumps blood and how your heart’s electrical system works. (1) Mozan was re-admitted to the operation room over night due to further complications and is currently recovering with an open chest.

121 Midwives complete training in Ghana, as part of our efforts to reduce maternal mortality in Africa. In Ghana a staggering 451 women out of 100,000  who give birth lose their lives in the process. This figure contrasts sharply to that of 9 women losing their lives out of  every 100,000 births in the United States of America. The reduction of maternal mortality is a UN Millennium Development Goal (MDG) but places like Ghana are far from reaching this goal to reduce maternal by three quarters by 2015(1). Al Muntada Trust, is taking on this challenge as part of its 25th year anniversary pledge to contribute to the reduction of maternal mortality in five West African countries; namely Ghana, Mali, Benin, Togo and Nigeria. This March saw the conclusion of the first stage of this innovative project, which was the training of 121 midwives from across hospitals in Ghana. These midwives will go on to become trainers and pass on the skills they have gained from the intensive course delivered by our partner Life for African Mothers (Wales). What’s Next: Provision of life saving medicine. Provision of basic medical equipment. Why not DONATE and make a difference.
