A Sarawak couple is desperately seeking financial assistance for their 69-day-old baby, who needs a life-saving liver transplant in Shanghai, China.
“Unfortunately, his liver has sustained irreparable damage and his liver function is declining rapidly,” said Dr Tee Chun Wei, a pediatric gastroenterologist at University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), in a statement.
He needs a liver transplant to improve his health and prevent complications such as infections, esophageal bleeding, multiple organ failure and death.
The Sibu-based family is now preparing Tino for the liver transplant at a specialised centre in Shanghai, but the financial burden is overwhelming.
