Surgery fund for Meena: hip replacement surgery in Pune
Meena needs hip replacement surgery at Pune General Hospital and the family is $750 short of the hospital's estimate.
🇮🇳 Pune, Maharashtra, India927 views
Meena was diagnosed with a cleft palate needing repair in August. The surgeon at Pune General Hospital recommended hip replacement surgery, and She is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $1,000, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $750 short.
my wife has been in and out of Pune General Hospital since August. The doctors say a cleft palate needing repair will get worse without hip replacement surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $1,000 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Meena 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.
The recovery period is expected to take about 5 weeks. During that time Meena won't be able to climb stairs, 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 $750 goes:
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $430
• Travel and lodging for the family: $60
• Physiotherapy sessions: $110
• Pre-operative tests and imaging: $95
• Post-operative medication: $55
