GlobalGiving Donor Impact Report Open Heart Medical Mission – May/2025

Dear Donors, We are thrilled to share the incredible impact your generous support has made during our recently concluded Open Heart Medical Mission. Your donations enabled us to deliver life-saving care and build local capacity for sustainable healthcare in Nigeria.

Medical Impact

Thanks to your support, we were able to carry out a full-scale mission that brought specialized cardiac care to children and adults in urgent need:

11 Pediatric Interventional Cardiology Procedures:These minimally invasive procedures helped correct congenital heart defects and improve quality of life for young patients, reducing the need for more invasive surgery.
5 Pediatric Open Heart Surgeries: We successfully completed five major open heart surgeries on children, offering them a renewed chance at healthy, active lives.
20 Open Heart Surgeries in Total. In total, we performed 20 complex open heart surgeries, providing treatment for both pediatric and adult patients suffering from life-threatening heart conditions.

Capacity Building

As part of our commitment to long-term impact, we also conducted a comprehensive training session for local medical staff from the Enugu School of Nursing. This initiative focused on building local expertise in cardiac care and surgical support, ensuring that more lives can be saved in the future without relying solely on international missions.

Thank You

This mission would not have been possible without the support of donors like you. Your contributions helped fund critical supplies, logistics, equipment, and the deployment of a specialized surgical team. Every dollar you gave went directly toward saving lives and strengthening the local healthcare system.

On behalf of all the beneficiaries and families whose lives have been touched — thank you.

With gratitude,

Sir Emeka Okwuosa Foundation
