• DOCTORS IN DILEMMA OVER BABY BORN WITHOUT ANUS AND GENITALS
• Poor Parents Solicit For Financial Help For Surgery

By Ononye VC in Onitsha

Medical doctors at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) in Nnewi, Anambra State, Nigeria are in dilemma over the condition of a baby born recently without anus to determine the sex of the baby.
And in order to excrete urine and feces, the doctors had to perforate the baby’s abdomen to eliminate waste.

The pathetic situation left the parents of the baby, Mr and Mrs Charles Ibeh whose only source of livelihood is petty trading crumbled and had to stop three of their other children from going to school while living with the agony of the strange medical condition.

The harrowing story started when the mother of the ill fated baby, Mrs Uchenna Ibeh was recently delivered of the baby in a private hospital in Onitsha through operation and it was discovered that the baby was utterly deformed with the entire intestine on the surface of the abdomen while the anus and genitals were nowhere to be found.

They were subsequently referred to the Teaching Hospital, Nnewi where the doctors had to reposition the baby’s intestines and created an opening from where urine and feces are eliminated.

Following the high cost of surgery and other treatments including X-ray and Scan which the couple could not afford, they were reportedly detained for days in the hospital such that when it became obvious to the hospital authorities that they were indigent and helpless, they decided to discharge them.

The couple expressed gratitude to the hospital management for releasing them but were sad that they (the hospital management) refused to give them official medical record of their baby to enable them to solicit help from kind spirited people and institutions in order to show proof of their plight.

According to them,all efforts to get the hospital authorities to do something failed and that they had no other choice than to go home with the baby.

The first photo shows the baby on pampers.

The second photo shows the baby with the intestine bulging out.

The last photo shows the baby’s abdomen perforated with something like a genital but none.

The couple appealed to kind spirited people and organisations, governments and churches all over the world to come to their aid financially and gave their contact address as, Mr and Mrs Charles and Uchenna Ibeh,No 19b Old Hospital Road,Onitsha,Anambra State,Nigeria. Telephone :08037773562.
