Surgery fund for Akosua: ACL reconstruction in Madina

After an aortic valve defect, Akosua was cleared for ACL reconstruction, but the bill is more than we can manage.

Madina
In July I was diagnosed with an aortic valve defect. My surgeon at Madina Orthopedic Institute recommended ACL reconstruction, and I have been placed on the schedule for September. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $1,550, and after what the government subsidy will pay, I'm still $1,250 short. Doctors at Madina Orthopedic Institute told me an aortic valve defect will get worse without ACL reconstruction. I work as a farm laborer, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $1,550 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a farm laborer have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Rehabilitation is expected to take about 5 weeks. I'll not be able to work a full shift during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $1,250 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $640 • Hospital stay (2 nights): $390 • Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80 • Post-operative medication: $50 • Physiotherapy sessions: $70 • Travel and lodging for the family: $20 Thank you so much. - Akosua
