manny4life: Everyone is here recommending surgery, don't u think the OP knows that?

I was expecting someone to talk about how to seek financial help since the father of the baby is poor...

.

The poster initially didn't know what its called until I told him. The initial title was to know what kind of disability it is and there was no mention of financial aid

God help us

chaircover:

Thank you for this info. Do you have any contact names that the parents of this kid can contact.

don't have a contact, just visited a friend and there was a baby that went through that surgery. they paid only for the bed space.

Amaaskia: Omg! Gosh.

relax, it can be corrected.

jackbauersballs: WTF!

Please put a warning out there...The pics are quite gruesome...

I dont really see what is to be gained by exposing the poor kid's condition to the gawking public

really?
how do we know what the poster is talking about?

lord hv mercy

Godson201333:

yaba left?

this really got me cracking

no uproar for world class hospitals in nigeria?

Surgical correction is free at the national orthopaedic hospital igbobi lagos. Nothing to worry about here as the outcome of the surgical procedures are usually excellent.

it is well

This can be corrected even in university of jos its done free. I pray God see this baby through

It is done free at Luth IDi Araba .You can come any day of the week to the dental centre, ask for the maxillofacial surgery unit. I believe it will be pretty straight forward

may God have mercy

Codedrock: OH MY GOD..
VAMPIRE THINGS..
Pity you o kid..

no course for alarm:::A maxilofacial surgeon can correct dis deformity in less dan 45mins

Awww that baby is cute, I'm sure he'll turn head after the surgery.


OP many people hace said the surgery costs almost nothing, please try to get to the hospitals mentioned.

May God bless this child and make everything alright for him and his folks, amen.

There are NGO's that offer free surgery for cases like these.

The treatment is sponsored by 'Smile Train Project', a Non -Governmental Organisation. Its a U.S based organization and its funded through Collins Powell and other donor agencies.

There is another one "Health, Education, Work and Shelter Foundation (HEWF)", HEWF Founder/President, is Remi Adeseun. They should try and see the Consultant and Head of Burns and Plastic Unit, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Prof Idowu Fadeyibi. He should be able to help.

There is also Cleft Care Nigerian Foundation Director of the foundation is Dr. Seidu Adebayo Bello, They should be reachable at the Kuje General Hospital and Bwari General Hospital in Abuja.

They should seek information from general hospitals. I'm sure God will help them out.

Thank God I read this well to cut the mater shot the surgery is done free at the National othpeadic hospital under smile train

honey86: pls wwhat is nddc?.

The likes of you who only ping and watch south korean series all day long without taking time out to develop and align yourselves to current affairs in the country and world over

Humans are combinations and formations of cells,the ones the forms better are the lucky ones.Although external factors contribute to how we form in the form in the womb,otherwise it is purely magical and sequential from copulation,conception,contraction and birth.

Contact smile train.they are in major hospitals nationwide and the surgery is free.in osogbo they are in Onward hospital,agunbelewo osogbo.this was where my niece did her own.

Oh! So sad what a pity.

I wish our country even had Subsidy for health care! But the subsidy wey dey Fuel sef Govt don comot am, Health is luxury, corrective surgery like one Nairalander suggested is lot'a money.

Poor baby.

Is it not rather a funny world.. One baby is born is so much luxury and affluence into the Royal family in the United Kingdom and might become king someday and another baby is Born with a condition to poor parents and yet we don't have a choice where we are born or how we are born or to whom we are born..

Seriously?, Mr man you don't know me and you don't know why I asked the question. of course I know Niger delta devt agency but couldn't nddc have been some other organisation?. So did you adore today know that nddc offers free medical surgery. I don't blame you, because we are all on Nairaland you think you can talk to people anyhow.

honey86: its called cleft lip. This is why it is important to use folic acid when you start planning to get pregnant and continue till the pregnancy is about 4 months. The only solution is constructive surgery. May God help us all.

Nairalanders take note of this: it is said that ''to be informed will prevent you from being deformed''. This statement comes to reality here. If only the parents of this poor boy had this information early enough, their son wouldn't have been like this. The lesson I've learnt here today is this: Folic acid is a ''must use'' before and after conception

I have participated in a number of reconstructions. It is free in many centres in Nigeria, sponsored by Smile Train™. Don't worry, all will be well. If they hAve gone to UCH, FINE. They should be co-operative with the doctors and follow instructions.
They should avoid being superstitious and the father should stand by and support the mother, because many times, the father neglects or even run away

University College Hospital Ibadan should be the first point of call, if the baby was delivered there they will carry out a free surgery,though cost of operation is very little.

Yes, the op said the parents are on their way to UCH. Let's all wish the baby a successful surgery.

If there's time courage , you may come to Armed forces specialist Hospital Kano. Surgery is free, only transport feeding and accommodation you''ll have to bear yourself

waiting 4 somebody to link ds wit gej.
