The second PET Project, sponsored by JCI University of Ibadan, restocked the Paediatric Cardiology Unit of UCH with medical items for 50 transfusions.
The second edition of the PET Project held on Tuesday, December 11, 2018, at the Otunba Tunwase Children Emergency Ward, University College Hospital, Ibadan. Junior Chambers International (JCI), University of Ibadan, was partner and sponsor of the edition.
Medical items to cater for 50 Partial Exchange Transfusions were donated for children with Tetralogy of Fallot, a type of hole in the heart, receiving care at the Paediatric Cardiology Unit of UCH, to keep the supplies for this life-saving procedure continuously available.

The programme had in attendance one of the Paediatric Cardiology nurses, a Senior Registrar in paediatrics, children with Tetralogy of Fallot and their caregivers, and volunteers. Our Executive Director gave an address with Dr. Adebayo and Matron Samson looking on, and members of the Board of Directors were present alongside the volunteers.
