The patient, a 34-year-old woman, had a milk valve replacement.
Following the successful operation, BU’s Vice president, Development and Strategy, Olukunle Iyanda, attributed the success to God.
“This is inspirational and praiseworthy; another achievement by God through mortal men,” Iyanda said.
It was gathered that the team will attend to dozens of patients with heart problems.
