Okan was diagnosed with severe cataracts in both eyes in August. The surgeon at Ankara General Hospital recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $1,150 short.
my son has been in and out of Ankara General Hospital since August. The doctors say severe cataracts in both eyes will get worse without septoplasty. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,650 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Okan struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. His family has taken turns caring for him, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
The recovery period is expected to take about 12 weeks. During that time Okan won't be able to climb stairs, so the costs keep growing.
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: $190
• Travel and lodging for the family: $95
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $650
• Physiotherapy sessions: $215
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
