Milesi is a 44-year-old woman from Malawi. She lives in Lilongwe, the nation’s capital, with her husband and child. She loves her family and also enjoys spending time with her friends at her church, where she is a devoted, long-time member.
In 2014, Milesi began to experience pain in her lower abdomen. Due to financial constraints, she was unable to seek treatment for this discomfort. Recently, however, she visited our medical partner’s care center, Nkhoma Hospital, and learned about Watsi. She was able to have a medical exam, and it was discovered that she has uterine and cervical leiomyoma—painful, non-cancerous fibroid growths.
Milesi is scheduled to undergo surgery on April 13. Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $541 to cover the cost of the surgery. After treatment, Milesi will be able to return to her family and friends free of pain.
