By Sola Ogundipe
BABY Omoike Omozokpia Shalom needs help fast. The two-month-old infant was born with a serious heart deformity and requires urgent corrective surgery.
According to Shalom’s mother, he requires N7.5 million to undergo corrective surgery at the Apollo Hospital, Chennai, India.
“The problem was discovered at birth,” she recounted to Good Health Weekly in a chat.
“When he was born, he was unable to breathe properly, he did not cry out as normal newborns do. He was born at 37 weeks and 4 days through Cesarean Section.

They are struggling to survive and cannot raise the N7.5 million required for the life-saving surgery on their own. They are appealling to kind-hearted Nigerians to help save their son.
