Vino was diagnosed with a hernia that has become strangulated in March. The surgeon at Bandung Community Hospital recommended emergency hernia repair, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short.
my father has been in and out of Bandung Community Hospital since March. The doctors say a hernia that has become strangulated will get worse without emergency hernia repair. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Vino struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 weeks. During that time Vino won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, so the costs keep growing.
I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section.
Where the $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $540
• Physiotherapy sessions: $95
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $115
