Saidati is a 16-year-old woman from Uganda. She and her husband, Humarn, are expecting their first child. Saidati lives with her in-laws, who operate a small restaurant. She works as a waitress. During her free time, Saidati enjoys watching netball games, swimming in the river, and weaving mats and baskets.
Saidati visited our medical partner’s hospital, Bwindi Community Hospital. Because she is young, her doctors consider her pregnancy to be high-risk. They recommend that she receive medical attention before, during, and after labor to ensure a safe delivery. On April 15, she will begin to receive supplements and attend antenatal checkups and health education classes. She will deliver her baby in the hospital, and she will undergo a C-section if necessary. After birth, Saidati and her baby will be monitored by the hospital staff.
Though Saidati and her husband are paying $7 for her treatment, they need help to pay her remaining medical bill. Our medical partner, The Kellermann Foundation, is requesting $241 to fund antenatal visits, lab tests, medication, and three nights of hospital stay.
Saidati thanks donors for supporting her treatment and prays to God to bless them in all they do.
