Kausar was diagnosed with a thyroid nodule that needs removal in July. The surgeon at Karachi General Hospital recommended palate reconstruction surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,150, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $850 short.
my daughter has been in and out of Karachi General Hospital since July. The doctors say a thyroid nodule that needs removal will get worse without palate reconstruction surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,150 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Kausar struggles with daily life and can't climb stairs. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there.
Rehabilitation is expected to take about 8 weeks. During that time Kausar 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 $850 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $480
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $60
• Hospital stay (5 nights): $310
Every share and every dollar helps.
