According to the doctors, it is a life-threatening condition and the five-week-old infant’s only hope for survival is to undergo an arterial switch surgery at Hospital Kuala Lumpur where surgeons will place the two main blood vessels into their proper ventricles.Mother Entia Nyantau, 27, is a housewife taking care of three children, including Federick, while her husband, Naga Anak Alap is a mechanic and the sole breadwinner in the family.
The joy of having a baby boy turned into despair as the family struggles to ensure Federick receives the life-saving surgery. The family had already spent considerable money on flight tickets and accommodation for the mother and baby to come to Kuala Lumpur for the procedure.I am reaching out for help from the public,” said a tearful Entia.Da-Ai representative and social worker Mandy Lee Siok Fan said the association had shared Federick’s plight on its official Facebook page.
“Due to the urgency, the hospital proceeded with the surgery for baby Federick and allowed Da Ai time to raise funds to cover the cost,” said Lee.For further details, contact Lee at 016-6764691 or email: [email protected].
