Kanu is trying to raise $35 million (N5 billion) to build a Cardiac Specialist Hospital that will offer free surgery services for children from 1-12 years while adult patients will be highly subsidized. See more after the cut...
- Kanu Heart Foundation has carried out 452 open heart surgeries since inception in 2000.
- All surgeries done in foreign countries like England, Israel, India, and Sudan.
- Capital flight involved is much
- Federal government of Nigeria has given the Kanu Heart Foundation a piece of land in Abuja for the project.
- The Cardiac Specialist Hospital is a 40 beded Hospital with State of the Artificialities.
- Nigerian President , Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonthan is the Special Guest of honour while Former President Chief Olusegun Obansanjo and Ibrahim Babangida are Father of the Day and Chairman respectively.
- FIFA Secretary General Walter Gagj has confirmed his attendance
It is hoped that the diner will raise enough money to commence the construction of a specialist cardiac hospital in Nigeria.
Kanu has stated that President Good- luck has graciously accepted to be Special Guest of Honour at the fund raising event, while calling on well- meaning Nigerians, corporate bodies and multinationals to be part of the laudable project.
According to the Coordinator/Trustee of Kanu Heart Foundation, Onyebuchi Abia, when in full operation, the centre would save an average of 250 children and 100 adults heart patients in a one year through the free surgery initiative of the foundation. Heart patients between the ages of 0-12 will also receive free surgery treatment, while patients above 12 years old will be treated at a highly-subsidised fee. It would also save this nation about $5million annually and reduce capital flight.”
Kanu added: “The truth is that we have done 452 in all. We started from UK and it was quite expensive. On one child we have to spend between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds sterling and we are talking about the cost of operation alone. “We are not talking about flight, accommodation and feeding. We were forced to seek alternative in Israel where it is less expensive and we are able to touch more kids. All the same it is still expensive.”
He said he was touched by the plight of parents and children in the country who do not have the advantage that he has, hence his desire to bring smiles on the lips of more victims of heart-related ailments.
There is an opportunity to make donations online or to KHF directly

*teary eyes...aww God bless u Kanu! all the best outcomes with the fundraising, the project will be significantly successful in Jesus name {amen}
well done kanu. I have donated to d foundation thru my GLO line ! what about you ?
well done kanu. I have donated to d foundation thru my GLO line ! what about you ?
I appreciate what Mr Kanu is doing and for all he has done in the past. We need more Kanu in Nigeria. However, I don't think building a cardiac centre in Nigeria is the way to go. He could expand cardiac centre in one of the universities in Nigeria and also invest money in training the staff.
This is really nice to see the best people to get donate an d helping people for heart . Hrudaya Foundation
After the fundraising, how much was netted and what is the next step for Kanu Heart Foundation in making this dream a reality?
God blees you kanu...Wish we had more people like u.
