If you’ve ever had a health-related issue in Nigeria, then you will probably understand that it is extremely difficult to fund your treatment and navigate the healthcare system.

In view of this, BellaNaija launched the BN Community Centre. This online platform will feature “calls for help” as submitted to us. This includes information, photos and account numbers.

We have a project about a young girl that suffered a careless accident that need urgent medical attention.

This ‘Medical Fund Project’ is for Susan OreOluwa Ologan. She was involved in an accident on the 31st of July, 2017. A vehicle driven by an un-licensed driver reversed and hit her against a stationary vehicle, initially she fell, in a bid to remove her from underneath the vehicle, the driver was asked to move his vehicle and somehow he reversed again, this time hitting her head against the earlier said stationary vehicle. The driver has been un-cooperative.

She is a student of Bloom Heights School, Bibilari, Basorun, Ibadan

She was immediately rushed unconscious to the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan bleeding from the right eye, right ear, mouth and nose. She was received at the Accident & Emergency (A&E) section of the hospital and several tests were carried out; after a CT-scan, it was revealed that she has a broken jaw, a fractured neck bone and swollen brain. A surgery was performed on her on 2nd of August, 2017 for N250,000 to open her skull in a bid to give her brain room to expand and contract un-inhibited (according to the doctors). She has undergone additional surgeries, including one to stitch her right eye shut in a bid to protect it from going dry as it was no longer being supplied moisture. She is still unconscious (hundred days and counting).

Her parents have spent in excess of two-million naira (N2m) {inclusive of outstanding bills} already, her daily oxygen need in the ICU is N18,000 (add that to the cost of feeding through tubes, cleaning, physiotherapy, drips, etc). Her parents are in need of support in prayers and cash.

She’s in need of further surgeries, the primary one is to drain fluids from her very swollen head.

This is plea to everyone.

Susan Oreoluwa Ologan needs our help.
