Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Abuja General Hospital
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in November is out of reach without help covering $800 of the cost.
🇳🇬 Abuja, Abuja FCT, Nigeria1,377 views
In August I was diagnosed with a herniated spinal disc. My surgeon at Abuja General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for November. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,350, and after what our health plan will pay, I'm still $800 short.
Doctors at Abuja General Hospital told me a herniated spinal disc will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a warehouse packer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,350 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a warehouse packer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $800 goes:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $125
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $400
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $275
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Rooting for you, Wunmi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Mandurah
Wishing you peace, Wunmi. Wishing Wunmi a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best
best of luck, Wunmi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
