Support in cash and kind have been pouring in at the front desk of Joy FM after the story of a four month old baby born without an anus was aired, Wednesday.

The baby’s life hangs in the balance because her inability to attend to natures call is deteriorating her health.

Sulemana Muhibatu’s parents say they are too poor to come up with the GH¢7,000 doctors say she needs to correct her deformity.

However since the story aired individuals and corporate bodies have thronged Joy FM offices to show support to Sulemana and her parents.

Manufacturers of Bel Aqua mineral water have donated GH¢7,000 to support the child.

A group of friends from the University of Cape Coast has also donated GH¢1,630 to support the child.

Read below Northern regional correspondent Martina Bugri's report aired earlier:

In a faded green dress she clinches to her mother. She looks frail, pale and sick.

Muhibatu is the fourth child of her parents. She was born without an anus and so is unable to respond to nature’s call freely. This deformity has brought a lot of misery to the family because she is always sick. Her Uncle Alhassan Abdul Rabiu make’s an attempt to pick her up.

“This is the first time we have experienced such case in the family so it’s a nightmare for us because we are thinking of the 7000 Ghana cedis to correct the abnormality and looking at her having sleepless nights… is not easy when she doesn’t past even one week she will not pass any waste so she will always have temperature and all that”

For now an artificial opening has been created at her side to enable her ease herself but it comes with great discomfort

 “A week after delivery after detecting that we brought her to the Tamale Teaching Hospital but they referred us to the Okomfo Anokye where they performed the surgery  and they created an opening on her stomach. That is where she has been passing excreta.”

Muhibatu’s father is wearing a torn white shirt turned brown with stains and probably from overuse, he is bare footed and looks miserable, her mum has a small piece of blue material that can barely go round her to cover her nudity.

They are peasant farmers in a remote village called Yoggu in the Tolon District in the Northern Region. They are expected to raise seven thousand Ghana cedis an equivalent to the price of a second hand Opel Astra vehicle, but this has become a nightmare for the family.

 “The doctors gave us some drugs and ointment to be applying on the opening but the cost involved in maintaining it is problematic and even the cost of the operation that will be done is seven thousand Ghana cedis. It’s a problem for the family”

The faith of Muhibatu hangs in the balance until they are able to raise the money for the surgery.
