Help Irene pay for laparoscopic endometriosis surgery at Kampala Community Hospital

Irene was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in April. The surgeon at Kampala Community Hospital recommended laparoscopic endometriosis surgery, and She is scheduled for July. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $700 short. my wife has been in and out of Kampala Community Hospital since April. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without laparoscopic endometriosis 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, Irene struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Irene won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $270 • Hospital stay (5 nights): $260 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $30 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $105 • Travel and lodging for the family: $15 Glad we found this place.
