A team member, who pleaded for anonymity, said:
“Ordinarily, it could cost the parents over N2 million or more to carry out the operation in a private facility. The two-hour operation was conducted by seven surgeons, doctors and other medical personnel.”
The male died but the female is responding well to treatment, he added.
The team, which berthed in Bauchi yesterday, will offer free services to over 50,000 beneficiaries across the 20 local government areas.
