Kanu Nwankwo's Heart Foundation is about to build a specialist hospital
in Nigeria purely to deal with heart matters and President Goodluck
Jonathan will lead top Nigerians in the private and public sector to
formally launch the Kanu Nwankwo Foundation on March 3.
Kanu Nwankwo has said the hospital would treat children from ages zero to 12 free of charge no matter the level of infection.
“Previously, the Foundation raises money to take people with heart
conditions abroad for surgery and other treatments. This time we are
going to build specialist hospital that would be purely for heart
issues. It would make treatment cheaper as well as reduce the number of
people going abroad for heart treatment thereby saving the country
enormous foreign exchange,” he said
