Jinja is a 75-year-old small-scale farmer from Malawi, and the father of six children. He is a patient with our medical partner, World Altering Medicine.
Jinja has an enlarged prostate, which has led to trouble urinating and defecating properly. The symptoms are significantly affecting his daily life.
Jinja needs a prostate resection - surgery that removes part of the prostate gland and improves the flow of urine through the urethra. The treatment costs $742 and includes hospitalization, surgical, and travel costs.
