A 54-year-old Nigerian man, Aliyu Abdulmalik, who has been living with Parkinson's disease for seven years, is seeking public support to raise N65 million for a Deep Brain Stimulation surgery in Istanbul, Turkey. Abdulmalik's condition became resistant to medication, leading to his pursuit of this specialized procedure. After a medical evaluation, Atasehir Medicana International Hospital in Istanbul recommended the surgery, stating it is the gold standard therapy for drug-resistant Parkinson's disease.
The estimated cost of the procedure is $35,000, which includes neurological assessments, investigations, surgery, equipment, and post-operative care. So far, N1,114,688.37 has been raised towards the goal, with a shortfall of approximately N63.89 million. Individuals, organizations, and well-meaning Nigerians are being urged to contribute towards Abdulmalik's medical treatment.
