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.

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

  1. Small update. $3,393 so far, we've started the first stage.

  2. 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.
