According to a Press Release signed by the State Commissioner for Infomation, Culture & Tourisn, Dr Barr Mrs Uju Nwogu, a Team of Medical Doctors based in the USA, Global Eagle Foundation led by Dr Joe Nwiloh in partnership with the State Government and the Catholic Archdiocese of Awka has in January 2016 again successfully carried out open heart surgery on five patients with diseases of the heart and great vessels at the Dr Joe Nwiloh Heart Center, St Joseph's Hospital, Adazi Nnukwu, Anaocha LGA.
Dr Nwogu
stated that out of the five patients that were operated upon, four were
adults while one was a child, all with failing hearts. She further
stated that one of the patients was the first in the South East &
South South Zones of the Federation to undergo a coronary artery bypass
surgery. This she said was made possible by the sophisticated state of
the art monitoring equipment & mechanical support which the Center
has for all heart related ailments.
The Information Commissioner in addition stated that patients are seen daily at the Center for routine checks & consultations even as surgeries are scheduled and done monthly. The goal of the Team is to service all the needs of patients afflicted with heart related diseases.
Anambra State through the vision of the Government is one of the few States in Nigeria performing heart surgery, with the Center being one of the top in Africa. People should therefore avail themselves of this great life opportunity available in Anambra State to treat their heart diseases and be healthy.
Dr Nwogu however called on philanthropic individuals and corporate groups to contribute to the growth of the center by assisting in acquiring a cardiac catheterization laboratory to enable it complete its diagnostic capabilities.
