I had my first procedure (mitral valve repair) on the 13th of December, 2021 and it
was very successful. Along the line, there were complications which God through the
team at Healthy Heart Foundation was able to manage.
I got discharged in February and as an out patient, I was coming for wound dressing
till March. While under the watch of the medical team, I saw true professionalism as
everyone sees every patient as their patient and are always ready to offer the
needed care and attention at every demand. I have been restored back and I no longer
experience the symptoms I was having again. Though I have not been very involved in
activities but I feel good now and mm over around freely.

My name is Adamu Tanko, from Nasarawa State.I was diagnosed of Mitral Valve Prolapse
in the year 2009. My doctor deemed it necessary to go for Valvular Surgery in 2017
which we've tried many foreign hospitals if one could be affordable considering our
thin financial muscle. All the bills and costs given were quite alarming that we
could not attempted.
Before one knows it, the hope givers (Voom Foundation) announced their Free Surgical
tour in 2019 as against 2020 to Nigeria. I couldn't hesitate than to make a contact
and got an instant approval. Unfortunately, the 2020 Covid-19 scourge hindered the
initial planned trip but as they always keep to their words, the Voom Foundation
made it to save our lives in 2021 immediately after travel resumption.
We got invitation by Voom Foundation in partnerships with Healthy Heart Foundation
and FCC. To my greatest surprise, all the procedures for the surgical mission was
carried out at the most befitting health facility "First Cardiology Consultants"
Ikoyi, Lagos.
We are thankful for this shower of love, mercy and compassion. Thanks to Healthy
Heart Foundation, Voom Foundation, First Cardiology Consultants and Abuad for saving
our lives.
-Adamu Tanko, Sept. 2021
The whole issue started when I began having difficulty in breathing and I had to
consult a cardiologist in Lokoja, Kogi State where I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve
Prolapse.
I had to get a second opinion and so I went to consult with another cardiologist at
Cardio Care hospital Abuja. I was then introduced by my doctor to First Cardiology
Consult and Healthy Heart Foundation in Lagos who at the time where carrying out
free open heart surgeries for people who could not afford it. I then booked an
appointment to see a cardiologist at First Cardiology Consultants where I was
reviewed and the earlier diagnosis confirmed. I was then put in touch with the
foundation (Healthy Heart Foundation) and was given a date for my surgery.
The whole process started in December 2021, when I had my first surgery. The care I
received at First Cardiology Consultants was simply world class as everyone I came
in contact was ready and willing to be of help. My recovery process has been good as
I feel much better now even though my recovery is still ongoing.
I would like to thank Healthy Heart Foundation, First Cardiology Consultants and
VOOM Foundation for the chance I have been given to lead a healthier and more
rewarding life.
