A cochlear implant processor upgrade for Hamisi: help Hamisi move freely
Hamisi needs a cochlear implant processor upgrade that the health system won't fund; the cost is $1,000.
🇺🇬 Kampala, Central Region, Uganda2,285 views
Hamisi lives with muscular dystrophy. The occupational therapist at Kampala General Hospital has assessed him and recommended a cochlear implant processor upgrade. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $1,000.
His current equipment is 15 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 4 weeks.
With the right equipment Hamisi could join the school sports day. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• cochlear implant processor upgrade: $910
• Fitting and training sessions: $30
• Delivery and set-up: $10
• First-year servicing plan: $50
