Help me pay for emergency hernia repair at Jakarta General Hospital
A scheduled emergency hernia repair in August is out of reach without help covering $1,150 of the cost.

In May I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the right knee. My surgeon at Jakarta General Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and I have been placed on the schedule for August. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,450, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,150 short.
Doctors at Jakarta General Hospital told me osteoarthritis in the right knee will get worse without emergency hernia repair. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,450 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 8 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 $1,150 goes:
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Physiotherapy sessions: $130
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $550
• Post-operative medication: $35
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Fani!
Pre-operative tests and imaging is $65 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
wishing you peace, Fani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Buenos Aires but we're thinking of you
