Congressman Ando Oaminal Extends Lifesaving Aid for Baby Charlyn's Open Heart Surgery

SINACABAN, Philippines - In a heartwarming display of compassion and swift action, one-year-old Baby Charlyn, accompanied by her grateful parents, has returned home safely after undergoing a life-saving open heart surgery. Today, on June 1, 2023, the Sinacaban community celebrates the successful journey towards recovery for this resilient young patient.

The story began in April 2023 when Baby Charlyn's mother sought assistance for her child's urgent medical needs. Recognizing the severity of the situation, she approached the office of Congressman Ando Oaminal, hopeful for support. Responding to the call for help, Congressman Oaminal wasted no time and extended his aid to the distressed family.

With the collective efforts of the Sinacaban Local Government Unit (LGU) and coordination with the renowned Philippine Heart Center in Quezon City, Baby Charlyn, her parents, and staff from the Municipal Social Welfare and Development (MSWD) Office embarked on a crucial journey. On April 30, 2023, they traveled to the Philippine Heart Center, where Baby Charlyn was promptly admitted at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

On May 3, 2023, the young patient underwent a successful Ventricular Septal Defect Closure, a complex open heart surgery, which was meticulously performed by skilled medical professionals. Following the procedure, Baby Charlyn spent 10 days in the intensive care unit (ICU), closely monitored by a dedicated medical team. Her remarkable progress allowed her to transition to a regular ward for an additional 5 days until her final discharge on May 28, 2023.

To ensure Baby Charlyn's ongoing recovery and future check-ups, the medical expenses, including the hospital bill, professional fees, and follow-up appointments, amounted to Php 890,000.00. In an extraordinary act of generosity, Congressman Ando Oaminal sponsored the entire sum, ensuring that financial constraints would not impede the child's healing journey.

Recognizing the shared responsibility of supporting their community's well-being, the LGU Sinacaban, led by Mayor Dello Lood, also played an integral role. They provided transportation and travel allowances for Baby Charlyn and her family, amounting to Php 49,252.84, further alleviating the burdens they faced during this critical time.

The Sinacaban community extends its deepest gratitude to Congressman Ando Oaminal for his unwavering commitment to providing vital medical assistance. His benevolence has not only transformed Baby Charlyn's life but also brought immeasurable joy to her relieved parents. May the Lord God bless Congressman Oaminal abundantly for his wholehearted dedication to sincere and steadfast public service.

In collaboration with Congressman Ando Oaminal and the esteemed Governor, Atty Henry S. Oaminal, the people of Sinacaban firmly believe that they can make a substantial difference in realizing their shared vision—a united and prosperous Misamisnon community, where peace and contentment abound.
