A hospital in Nigeria has live-tweeted an operation to repair a hole in the heart of an eight-year-old girl.
The National Hospital in the capital, Abuja, is the first in the country to live-tweet an operation, reports the BBC's Nasidi Adamu Yahya from the city.
It was done to show Nigeria's expertise to the world, hospital spokesman Dr Tayo Haastrup told the BBC.
Hospitals in some other countries, including Canada, have live-tweeted heart operations before.
Dr Haastrup said there were no ethical concerns as the patient had not been identified.

Please the tweeting does it improve the chances of the patience survival.

Who is doing the tweeting? I hope it is not the surgeon doing the operation, oh!

But this is positive news. I pray the operation is successful and the patient recovers quickly.

hmm

Wow!

That's cool

Demmocrats:
Please the tweeting does it improve the chances of the patience survival.

Operating Doctors/Nurses aren't the ones tweeting! If someone had died due to lack of (sophisticated) medical equipment, you would have risen to the occasion by condemning them and the Nigerian government! Please always endeavour to appreciate good things! They are the first in the country ! Tufiakwagi!
