Agaton is a 62-year-old corn and sugar cane farmer from the Central Region of Malawi. Agaton enjoys an active lifestyle of bicycling, working the maize mill, spending time with his sister and brother-in-law, and chatting with village friends. He came to our medical partner’s hospital, Nkhoma District Hospital, due to an onset of urinary pain symptoms.
Agaton was diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia, a condition involving prostate enlargement. Without treatment, Agaton’s quality of life would decline, and he would be unable to support his family.
Fortunately, on October 20, 2016, Agaton received surgery to treat this condition. Now, Agaton’s family needs help to pay the $726 cost of the surgery.
Agaton is “thankful to Watsi for helping with treatment.”
