According to his medical report from the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital (EFSTH) where he was admitted , Mr. Correa is a known hypertensive (detected) 3 months ago ,who presented with headache and facial puffiness a day prior to presentation.

The most viable alternative betweem the two medical recommendations in David’s medical report is kidney (renal) transplantation,” it added.
“Efforts have been made to get a good and qualified doctor in India in preparation for his overseas treatment. The Indian doctor and the identified hospital have sent an invoice of the total cost of the kidney (renal) transplantation amounting to $13,000.00.”
Speaking to The Point Omar Jassey, afriend toMr. Correa said the$13,000 is only for his medical treatment but was quick to add that the amount could increase to $15,000, justifying that the $13, 000 mentioned earlier excluded accommodations and feeding throughout the treatment period.
“We only have $1000 in the Go Fund Me Account and we need $15000. The few people we relied on are already running volumes of Go funds for other Gambian patients. Thus, we call on everyone to help in this endeavour for the immediate creation of a Go fund account to fast track the fund raising drive. Please use your networks to explore all available options for this,” he said.
