Chrissie is a 50-year-old single mother and primary school teacher. She enjoys spending time with her three adult children who live with her.
Chrissie has been experiencing abdominal pain, back pain, and other worrying symptoms. After an ultrasound, she was found to have uterine fibroids or abnormal growths that develop in the uterus. Her condition has affected her daily activities and her work as a teacher.
Chrissie needs to undergo a total abdominal hysterectomy to address the pain, other symptoms, and future complications. Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare, will perform the surgery at Partners in Hope (PIH) Medical Center on March 2nd. They are requesting $1,363 for the treatment.
After the surgery, it is expected that Chrissie will no longer be in pain, enabling her to perform her daily functions and go back to teaching.
Chrissie said, “I am very happy to be seen at PIH and hope that the surgery will help me get better.”
