After a deviated septum causing chronic infections, Salma was cleared for spinal decompression surgery, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Salma was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in September. The surgeon at Gazipur General Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what my employer's plan will pay we're still $700 short. my daughter has been in and out of Gazipur General Hospital since September. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find. While we wait, Salma struggles with daily life and can't look after the children alone. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. The recovery period is expected to take about 4 weeks. During that time Salma won't be able to look after the children alone, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $700 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $340 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $165 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $55 • Travel and lodging for the family: $25 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Shahana
