Three officials of the Liberia United for Sustainable Development (LUSD) have disclosed that plans have been finalized to plant cassava on its 25 acres of farm land located in Kakata, Margibi County.
The leadership of the Independent Mano River Transport Union of Liberia (IMRTUL) has expressed thanks and appreciation to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for accepting and recognizing the IMRTUL operations in the country.
A 44-year-old resident of the Gorzohn Community in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County, is appealing to health related organizations, humanitarian institutions, the Bassa Legislative Caucus, the Liberian Government, the United Nations and all multinational organizations as well as philanthropic groups to help him seek medical attention as early as possible.
“I am dying slowly, because I don't have money. This disease may likely carry me to my early grave, if no one helps me at all,” Dehdyugar lamented to TheFactsNews.
Dehdyugar said he barely eats, and needs not less than US$650 to remove the growth.
He narrated that after the growth enlarged, he was referred to the Du-Side Hospital in Firestone, Margibi County, where he met one Dr. Sherman who told him that he could do the work for US$650, an amount he said he doesn't have considering his poor financial status.
Dehdyugar's appalling situation started since 2004 when he developed a loop in his left jaw, and he visited all the health centers in Buchanan including the Liberian Government Hospital, and none could actually help to remedy his situation. He was referred to the John F. Kennedy Hospital in Monrovia for surgery. The surgery was successfully carried out by a Rwandan medical doctor he only identified as Alex.
“[Then] in February of 2012, it rematerialized with a little knot behind my left ear, and again, I started to visit the Liberian Government Hospital for medical checkups, but I was always told to go and come back the next day until the growth developed to this size”, Dehdyugar explained.
News of a pro-bono Nigerian medical team in the country excited Dehdyugar but his joy was soon short cut when the team left in a disappointing manner for him.
He explains: “Recently I was happy, when I heard that a medical team from Nigeria was in the country, mainly Grand Bassa County, to render free medical services including surgeries such as removing growth, fiber, and hernia among others. I was the first to register, hoping that the medical team was going to restore my health because they told other people who have similar problem and me that they were going to send for the equipment they supposed to use to perform our operations.”
But he and others who were scheduled to undergo free surgeries were shocked with the news that the equipment was no longer available: “We walked to the hospital day after day, and the team told us finally that indeed the machine was at the hospital and scheduled us when to operate us. But surprisingly, when we got there for the operation, we saw the team wrapping up to leave; when asked, we were told that the equipment which we were told about wasn't available.”
That has even worsened his condition. “I hardly eat and sleep at night, and I don't even walk around anymore. I am only waiting for God's intervention”, he narrated his ordeal. Please call +231 886-950-877 for any assistance.
