ISRAELI DOCTOR FLIES 4,000KM TO RWANDA TO HELP FORMER TRAINEE SAVE 11-DAY-OLD BABY’S HEART
In a race against time, an Israeli pediatric heart specialist crossed more than 4,000 kilometers to Rwanda to help save the life of an 11-day-old baby — but the biggest story was not the journey, it was what happened in Kigali.
Dr. Sagi Assa, head of Interventional Pediatric Cardiology at Wolfson Medical Center located in Tel-Aviv, rushed to Rwanda after a call from Dr. Gerard Misago, a Rwandan cardiologist he had trained in Israel. The newborn, Angel, was suffering from critical pulmonary valve stenosis, a rare heart defect that severely blocked blood flow and threatened his life.
At King Faisal Hospital in Kigali, Dr. Misago led a highly complex balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty, supported by Dr. Assa and Rwandan cardiac anesthesiologist Dr. Christine Niyibogora, both working together to perform a procedure previously requiring international referral.
Using a catheter through blood vessels only millimeters wide, the team successfully opened the baby’s narrowed heart valve. Within hours, Angel was stabilized, removed from ventilation, and reunited with his mother.
Dr. Assa returned to Israel less than 30 hours after leaving, but he described the mission as more than a rescue operation — it was proof that Rwanda’s medical teams now have the skills to independently handle advanced pediatric heart cases.
The operation marked a turning point: children born with complex heart conditions may no longer need to leave Rwanda for lifesaving treatment. It was a moment where international partnership became local capability. #FactsOnRwanda
🚨🎈Why blow £100m on Adam Wharton when Liverpool already have the answer in Trey Nyoni?
19 years old. Homegrown. Already in the building. Technical, composed, line-breaking, two-footed No. 8 who glides past players and sets the tempo.
No massive fee. No adaptation period. No risk of another expensive midfielder who needs 18 months to settle.
Trust the academy. Give Nyoni the minutes. Save the £100m for positions that actually need it.
Sometimes the best signing is the one already wearing red. 🔴 #LFC
Your thoughts @ Reds
3) CAF should use this World Cup as a learning opportunity so African teams are better prepared and more competitive in future intercontinental tournaments.
1) If I were CAF, I would invite all FA presidents, National Technical Directors, and national team coaches to review the lessons from the 2026 FIFA World Cup. African teams showed promise, but overall we fell short of our potential.
2)We should analyze matches such as Senegal’s 1st-half performance against France, Cape Verde’s draw with Spain, and the campaigns of Morocco, Egypt, C d’Ivoire, Algeria, and DRC. There were many positives, but also avoidable mistakes that better preparation could have prevented.
أنا عارف إنكم لسه زعلانين، بس وعد مني إني هعمل كل اللي في قدرتي عشان أضمن إن دي تكون بداية جديدة للكورة المصرية على الساحة الدولية. التأهل لكأس العالم مش هيكون كفاية، والمشاركة كمان مش كفاية. الفريق ده يستاهل ثقتكم
@Nabil_djellit Les administrateurs du foot sénégalais ont déçu tout un continent; avec leur équipe et leur jeu, ils etaient capables d’aller très loin dans ce tournoi.
