54-year-old Halid is a maize farmer from Malawi. He lives with his wife, and shares that they have a lot of children and grandchildren who keep them very busy.
Halid has been diagnosed with an unilateral inguinal hernia. This develops when a bulge of soft tissue protrudes through weak points in the abdominal muscles near the groin. Halid experiences significant pain and discomfort and has been unable to access medical care until now. Doctors have recommended Halid for a hernia repair surgery.
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, has arranged for Halid to undergo the $334 surgery on August 8.
Halid is excited for his surgery. “Thank you, Watsi,” he says.
