Nazma A., 22

Nazma Akter is a gentle, hardworking 22-year-old woman who lives with her husband Akhirul Islam and his elderly mother in a government shelter house, surviving only on Akhirul’s irregular day-labor income of about 5,500 taka per month. With no land, no savings, and barely enough to meet daily food needs, the family is completely unable to bear the cost of critical medical treatment. Despite severe discomfort and weakness, Nazma remains patient and hopeful, dreaming of learning tailoring one day so she can contribute to her family’s future. In the final weeks of pregnancy, her condition is high-risk due to oligohydramnios and anemia, and without proper treatment she could face life-threatening complications, including severe bleeding or loss of the baby. The family learned about Helpster Charity through Life Care Hospital staff, who guided them during outreach in the shelter area—offering the only lifeline for safe treatment and survival.

Date of Admission: 04/12/2025 Date of Discharge: 07/12/2025 Nazma Akter underwent a planned cesarean section due to her moderate oligohydramnios and anemia, as advised by the medical team. The surgery was completed successfully under the care of experienced doctors. A healthy baby was delivered safely, and both mother and child remained stable throughout the procedure. After the operation, Nazma received appropriate post-surgical care, including antibiotics, pain management, and monitoring for her anemia. Her recovery progressed steadily, and within a short time she was able to move comfortably and tend to her newborn. Both Nazma and her baby are now in good health, and she feels deeply relieved and thankful for the safe delivery and successful recovery.

Doctors have advised Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) as the safest treatment option, along with blood transfusion and Human Anti-D Immunoglobulin injection, to protect both Nazma and her baby from life-threatening complications. With timely surgery and supportive care, the mother’s anemia can be stabilized, the risks from low amniotic fluid reduced, and Rh incompatibility prevented from harming the newborn, giving the child a strong chance for a healthy life. This treatment will significantly lower the risk of severe bleeding, infection, and birth asphyxia. If left untreated, the baby could suffer from oxygen deprivation, severe jaundice, or even stillbirth, while the mother faces a high risk of hemorrhage and long-term health consequences. Prompt medical intervention is therefore critical to saving both lives and ensuring a safe future.
