Ali was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in July. The surgeon at Peshawar University Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what our health plan will pay we're still $850 short. my husband has been in and out of Peshawar University Hospital since July. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Ali struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Ali won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $850 goes: • Post-operative medication: $20 • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400 • Physiotherapy sessions: $95 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $55 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $280 Glad we found this place.
