US heart surgeon says GNA does not care about Libyan children

//

An American heart surgeon has launched into the Government of National Accord (GNA) for what he says is a complete absence of concern for Libyan children needing life-saving operations.Bill Novick, who has been coming to Libya with a volunteer team of surgeons since 2012, has attacked the GNA health ministry for failing to fund paediatric heart surgery.The Beida health ministry has said that at least a thousand children require cardiac surgery.Novick now insists that if the GNA released funding for his heart operations, hundreds of children would be saved.He said: “The real solution requires GNA to act humanly and provide the funds for a year-long programme in which we could provide clinical care to these children and at the same time provide education to the local team so that in the future Libyan children could be treated by a Libyan team”.
