Help me pay for a partial thyroidectomy at Multan General Hospital
After an aortic valve defect, Dua was cleared for a partial thyroidectomy, but the bill is more than we can manage.

In August I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Multan General Hospital recommended a partial thyroidectomy, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $730, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $550 short.
Doctors at Multan General Hospital told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without a partial thyroidectomy. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $730 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. I'll not be able to look after the children alone during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
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 $550 goes:
• Post-operative medication: $35
• Physiotherapy sessions: $75
• Travel and lodging for the family: $50
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $390
With deep gratitude,
Dua

Hope the doctors have good news. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Multan.
Best of luck, Dua. Get well soon. Love from Limerick.
