CHINESE INVESTOR TO PAY FOR SURGERY OF CHILDREN WITH HEART PROBLEMS FOR 10
YEARS 

Source: MyJoyOnline.com  
  20 January 2023 5:16pm



A Chinese Investor and Chairman of Sunda Group, Shen Yanchang has offered to pay
for the cost of surgery for children living with a hole-in-heart for the next
ten years.

The project is expected to cover the medical and surgical expenses of 25
children.

Children who suffer from heart problems and cannot afford can apply for support
from the Chengwua Foundation named after the 17-year-old son of the Chairman of
Sunda Group, Shen Yanchang.

On average, heart surgery in Ghana costs between six thousand and 13 thousand
dollars.

With the cost of heart surgery out of the reach of most Ghanaians, many patients
are left to wait for the benevolence of individuals and organisations and in
some cases die before care would arrive.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Elton Brobbey on Friday, Mr. Yanchang said his decision to
support children with heart problems was because his son at age five suffered a
heart condition.

He added that realising the sorrowful moments his family went through after his
son was diagnosed with a heart condition, he gladly accepted the idea when
businessman, Herbert Mensah suggested to him to extend a hand to children at the
cardiothoracic center.

“You know, when my elder son was born five months after, we got a report from
the doctor that he had a heart disease. During that time, we felt a lot of pain
and we went to a very good hospital in China, after the surgery he got better,”
he said.

Recounting the horrible experience, the Chinese investor said after the surgery,
his son, Shen-wan kept falling ill.



“After he got saved in the next four to five years, he is always sick because
the body is not so strong,” he added.

Mr. Yanchang further empathised with parents whose children suffered from the
illness.

The Sunda Group of companies has been operating in Ghana for the past 20 years.

For his part, a Consultant at the National Cardiothoracic Centre, Dr. Cole
Mensah said doctors are pained to see a child with a hole-in-heart condition who
might be left to suffer because their parents could not afford the medical
costs.

“One of the pains that we have had is to see a child with a hole-in-heart
condition who can be saved through relatively simple surgery and there are no
resources to be able to do that.

“It is very painful, sometimes when you mention the amount and the parents break
out in tears, because some of them cannot imagine what the equivalent of $6,000
dollars looks like. And to have the opportunity to do free surgeries for 25
children every year that’s a third of our capacity now and its extremely
significant,” he noted.

Statistically, one child out of a hundred births has a heart or chest condition.

Smoking, excessive drinking, long exposure to X-rays and taking of certain drugs
by pregnant women are the causes of heart conditions in children.
