“The family was consented to for diversion colostomy, an operation which was done on her left side. Currently she has no complaints and is doing well from the operation. However, she needs a review and definitive treatment for her ailment by a pediatric surgeon who is not currently available in the country and as a result needs overseas treatment,” her medical report which was prepared by the Director of Health Services and endorsed by the Ministry of Health, indicated.
The girl’s father Ismaila Sillah, said they have been struggling to gather funds in a bid to ensure their child undergoes overseas treatment in Ghana, but to no avail.
