Fatema A., 26

Fatema Akter is a housewife from a financially disadvantaged family in Kurigram, where her husband earns a limited income as a day laborer, making it difficult for the family to afford medical expenses. She is the mother of one child and is currently at 38 weeks of pregnancy with a history of a previous Caesarean section. Recently, she developed premature rupture of membranes with reduced fetal movement, and ultrasonography confirmed oligohydramnios, placing her pregnancy at high risk. The NGO hospital where she previously received Caesarean care is no longer functioning in the area, leaving the family without affordable surgical options. Without timely intervention, both maternal and fetal health are at risk, which the family is unable to manage financially without external assistance.

Fatema Akter was admitted to the hospital on November 17, 2025, with a diagnosis of sever oligohydramnois and fetal distress. On the same day, she had a successful cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Both mother and newborn were discharged on November 23, 2025, in good health. Her husband came to the hospital to receive her and their child. The family expressed their gratitude to Helpster, Jamuna Clinic and Md Abdullah Miah for their treatment and support. Her husband was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

The doctor recommends an urgent cesarean section for Fatema Akter to prevent life-threatening complications for both her and her baby. With severe oligohydramnios could result in fetal distress, stillbirth, or serious maternal complications such as uterine rupture or placental issues. A timely Caesarean section offers the best chance of delivering a healthy baby and protecting the mother’s life. If the procedure is performed promptly mother and child are expected to recover well, with significantly reduced risks of morbidity or mortality. Without this intervention, both mother and baby face a critical situation that could have irreversible consequences.
