Busingye is a 63-year-old married mother of six children. She is a small scale farmer and lives with her husband in a three-room home in Uganda.
Over 20 years ago, Busingye began experiencing troubling symptoms, including neck swelling, difficulty breathing, headaches, and persistent coughing. She recently stopped farming due to her symptoms. When she visited a local hospital, she was diagnosed with multinodular goiter and requires surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare (AMH), is helping Busingye receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on May 4th at AMH’s care center, where surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. Now, Busingye needs help to fund the $293 procedure.
Busingye shared, “I pray that I may be considered for treatment. After treatment, I will resume farming and be able to further support our family.”

Busingye underwent a thyroidectomy.
Busingye had a successful surgery which removed her thyroid swelling that had been progressively increasing in size for the past 20 years. She already reports much improvement, and was relieved to be heading home from the hospital feeling well. Busingye believes that she will live a better and more productive life now that she is no longer bothered by all her coughs and headaches. Busingye plans to resume her farming as soon as possible.
Busingye says, “I had lost hope having lived with a goitre for the past 20 years. I thank the Watsi program and Rushoroza hospital for coming together and jointly rescuing me from the difficult condition. May God bless you.”
