Help me pay for gallbladder removal at Jeddah University Hospital
A scheduled gallbladder removal in March is out of reach without help covering $4,500 of the cost.
🇸🇦 Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia6,381 views
In January I was diagnosed with a hip fracture that never healed properly. My surgeon at Jeddah University Hospital recommended gallbladder removal, and I have been placed on the schedule for March. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $7,500, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $4,500 short.
Doctors at Jeddah University Hospital told me a hip fracture that never healed properly will get worse without gallbladder removal. I work as a delivery rider, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $7,500 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a delivery rider have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Recovery is expected to take about 3 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.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $1,800
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,550
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $350
• Post-operative medication: $230
• Physiotherapy sessions: $380
• Travel and lodging for the family: $190
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Majid
Small update. $3,393 so far, we've started the first stage.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,409 in total) the plan for travel and lodging for the family is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

How is Majid doing now?
Keep going, Majid. This could happen to any of us. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
