The Guardian of the patient Tamsir Njie, National coordinator of Nailler Foundation, said he is suffering from a congestive Cardiac failure since 2010 to date.
According to his guardian, Tamsir Njie, Ebou is a young intelligent boy who needs to realize his future dream as a student to get assistance for overseas treatment.
He said Ebou was admitted at the RVTH for months and discharged as he was getting better but it later started.
“I am a student and I am very young and want to further my education,” he added.
He said he was told by his doctors that he was not suffering from diabetes or cancer and that he could still get better without cutting the legs provided he got overseas treatment.
