After osteoarthritis in the right knee, Aarav was cleared for valve repair surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Aarav was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee in April. The surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended valve repair surgery, and He is scheduled for August. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $800, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $600 short. my son has been in and out of Pune General Hospital since April. The doctors say osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without valve repair surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $800 is more than we can find. While we wait, Aarav 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 7 weeks. During that time Aarav won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $600 goes: • Physiotherapy sessions: $65 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $460 • Travel and lodging for the family: $30 • Post-operative medication: $45 Glad we found this place.

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. physiotherapy sessions comes first ($65) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
