We reported some time ago about a baby that was born
twice. Well, the House of Representatives on Thursday honoured a US-based
Nigerian medical doctor, Prof. Oluyinka Olutoye, for the rare medial feat he
recorded recently by operating on a 23 weeks old foetus.
The foetus suffered a medical condition known as
‘sacrococcygeal teratoma’, a tumour, which developed while the baby was still
in the mother’s womb.
However, Prof. Olutoye and his team successfully removed
the foetus from the mother’ s womb, performed a surgery on the baby to remove
the tumour and returned her to the womb again.
The baby grew normally till week 36 and was delivered
safely.
The medical feat was celebrated in the US and around the
world.
On Thursday, the House passed a resolution to honour
Olutoye with members, led by the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, standing and
clapping for him for about 30 seconds.
The House also recommended him for a national honour by
the Federal Government of Nigeria.
This our leaders sha, like they appreciate hard work
here…..SMH
