Heart Care in West Africa is limited. In Northern Ghana there was NO Cardiac facility for the whole region.

Before the Cardiology Clinic:
In 2018, FAME learned about a one-year-old boy named Jibrilu and his family. To access cardiology care, they had to leave their home at 2 a.m. and endure a three-hour bus ride to the city, where they would often wait in line for 12 hours or more before Jibrilu could be seen by the medical staff. The costs of travel and lodging were placing a significant strain on Jibrilu’s family, who relied on street vending for income Before there was a cardiology clinic, the FAME partner there covered much of the cost of travel for the family and cared for them physically and spiritually.

Now we’d like to tell you about another story, of Jason Dapaah whose life was in danger. This two-year-old boy had been experiencing significant cardiac issues. When his family heard about the new FAME partner, CLT cardiology clinic, they were excited to know that they could receive high quality care right in their town.

At the CLT clinic, the Cardiologist quickly diagnosed the condition, scheduled a referral to the Cardio Thoracic Centre in the Nation’s capital (Accra) for surgery. After surgery, the great news is that Jason is now doing great!! Praise the Lord!! CLT believes these miraculous stories will only continue to increase as the clinic grows.

Access to healthcare will make a difference for many families. Your partners there are evangelistic and both families heard the gospel! Jibrilu’s parents were Muslims and through their relationship with the ministry there, Jibrilu’s parents especially his mother; Miss Jamila are opening their hearts to the good news about Jesus which was shared with them. Jason’s parents are the same, and as both families now have a facility reaching out to them for follow up care, the gospel is an ongoing message to them.

Thank you for your partnership that makes this possible!!!
