The Chief Press Secretary to the President of the Senate, Paul Mumeh, in a statement said Kanu and the coordinators of the Kanu Heart Foundation briefed Mark on the proposed launching of a N5billion Cardiac Hospital in Abuja targeted at addressing the increasing cases of heart related diseases especially amongst children.
