Septoplasty for Samir: covering what insurance won't

Samir was diagnosed with a torn ligament that needs reconstruction in April. The surgeon at Rabat Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and He is scheduled for May. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,650, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $1,250 short. my husband has been in and out of Rabat Regional Medical Center since April. The doctors say a torn ligament that needs reconstruction 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, Samir struggles with daily life and can't work a full shift. 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 10 weeks. During that time Samir won't be able to work a full shift, so the costs keep growing. The money goes straight to the treatment bills, and I'll share the invoices as they're paid so you can see exactly what your gift did. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480 • Hospital stay (4 nights): $440 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95 • Post-operative medication: $55 • Physiotherapy sessions: $125 • Travel and lodging for the family: $55 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Salma
