Written by Agency Reporter

The Kanu Heart Foundation has announced plans to establish a Cardiac Centre for the treatment of heart diseases in the country.

Its founder, former football star, Mr. Nwankwo Kanu, stated this in Abuja on Tuesday at a news conference, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

He said the foundation decided to build the hospital to reduce the rate of death among patients and cut down on the cost of travelling abroad for treatment.

Kanu noted that recent experiences and the fresh alarm raised by experts over the rising incidence of heart diseases among children in the country had also motivated the foundation to undertake the project.
