Anush is a six-year-old child living in Nepal with his parents and siblings. He is in grade two of primary school in his village. His father works in India to support the family in Nepal while his mother is responsible for grazing the cattle and looking after the children.
Recently, Anush was walking from his home to the playground when he fell on a rock, fracturing his left hand. His uncle brought him to a clinic under the care of our medical partner, Possible, where they provided analgesics for pain. Since then, his left hand has been painful and swollen, and he has difficulty moving his arm.
Anush’s doctors recommended surgical intervention to reset his hand and set his wrist in a cast, however Anush’s family is unable to afford it. The total cost of $195 covers the surgery, medications, supplies, and follow up visits.
After the treatment, he will have to do some physiotherapy exercise to regain mobility. “I wish Anush gets well soon after the treatment,” shares Anush’s uncle.

Anush can use his hand again.
The fractured bones in his left hand were aligned correctly and secured. Doctors have suggested two weeks of bedrest while Anush recovers from the operation. Medication will help him control post-surgery pain.
Anush will do physiotherapy exercises to regain mobility in his hand. He will learn to hold partial weights and will avoid lifting any heavy weights. Doctors have advised Anush to follow his physiotherapy routine closely and to be cautious while playing. He should regain most of his previous mobility within two months.
