Miss Jahnifemi Iremide Adenuga

Mrs Adenuga Bukola came on board when she was six months pregnant. She had previously suffered four miscarriages. The foundation took care of all her medical bills and gave her feeding allowance regularly. When it was almost time for her delivery the doctors advised she should give birth through C-section because they believed it would guarantee a better chance of a safe delivery considering her past experiences. The surgery was scheduled for the 2nd of May, but when it was about her turn an emergency surgery came up which lasted for a long time as a result her surgery was postponed till the next day. The doctor on shift the next day refused to perform the surgery without blood donation but because of our beneficiary belief, she refused to agree to those terms. An argument ensued and she was asked to go to another hospital facility to deliver her baby but fortunately, another doctor came the following Monday and agreed to do it without the blood donation.VSF paid for the surgery and after-surgery bills. The surgery was successful and she delivered a bouncing baby girl.
