Surgery fund for Ifeanyi: cataract surgery in Asaba
A scheduled cataract surgery in June is out of reach without help covering $1,100 of the cost.
🇳🇬 Asaba, Delta, Nigeria1,209 views
In March I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. My surgeon at Asaba Regional Medical Center recommended cataract surgery, and I have been placed on the schedule for June. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $2,200, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $1,100 short.
Doctors at Asaba Regional Medical Center told me a benign brain tumor will get worse without cataract surgery. I work as a call-centre agent, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $2,200 is far beyond what I've.
Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a call-centre agent have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 10 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.
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 $1,100 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $350
• Hospital stay (4 nights): $420
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $80
• Post-operative medication: $55
• Physiotherapy sessions: $120
• Travel and lodging for the family: $75
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
