Minh was diagnosed with a deviated septum causing chronic infections in August. The surgeon at Hồ Chí Minh City Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and He is scheduled for November. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $940, and after what the public health scheme will pay we're still $750 short.
my son has been in and out of Hồ Chí Minh City Community Hospital since August. The doctors say a deviated septum causing chronic infections will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $940 is more than we can find.
While we wait, Minh struggles with daily life and can't stand for more than ten minutes. 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 5 weeks. During that time Minh won't be able to stand for more than ten minutes, 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:
• Physiotherapy sessions: $65
• Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $370
• Post-operative medication: $45
• Hospital stay (2 nights): $180
• Travel and lodging for the family: $90
