Khadijatul K., 3

Khadijatul Kubra, a small three-year-old girl, has been suffering from a hernia for the past year, but her family, led by her father Usuf Ali, a rickshaw puller earning only 8,000 Taka per month, cannot afford the cost of surgery. Her hernia causes her discomfort and swelling in her abdomen, which could worsen if left untreated. Without timely surgical intervention, she risks complications like strangulation or bowel obstruction, which can be life-threatening and cause severe pain. Her family’s financial hardship makes it impossible to access the necessary treatment, putting Khadijatul’s health and future at serious risk.

Khadijatul has an inguinal hernia that requires urgent surgical repair. Delaying the surgery increases the risk of complications such as incarceration or strangulation, which can cause tissue damage, severe pain, and potentially life-threatening conditions like bowel obstruction, necrosis, sepsis, or even death. Prompt intervention is essential to ensure her safe recovery and prevent these serious long-term health issues.
