Palate reconstruction surgery for Sadia: covering what insurance won't
Sadia needs palate reconstruction surgery at Peshawar Orthopedic Institute and the family is $850 short of the hospital's estimate.

Sadia was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Peshawar Orthopedic Institute recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,050, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short.
my mother has been in and out of Peshawar Orthopedic Institute since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,050 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Sadia struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Recovery is expected to take about 6 weeks. During that time Sadia 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 $850 goes:
• Hospital stay (3 nights): $350
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $360
• Travel and lodging for the family: $55
• Post-operative medication: $20
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Peshawar
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about hospital stay (3 nights), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there, Nida. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update
