Atuhaire is a mother of three who practices produce farming along with her husband to meet their family’s needs.
For the past five years, she has had abdominal and back pains and other troubling symptoms. She came to Watsi’s Medical Partner Care Center Nyakibale Hospital after other treatment and pain relief have not helped relieve her. Doctors have diagnosed her with uterine fibroids and she needs to undergo a hysterectomy, a procedure in which surgeons will remove her uterus.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is requesting $219 to fund Atuhaire’s surgery. On February 23rd, she will undergo gynecological surgery at our medical partner’s care center. Once recovered, Atuhaire will finally be able to resume her daily activities free of pain.
Atuhaire says: “I had always been engaged in home activities like washing, cooking, and cleaning well, but because of this condition, things have changed. I hope that with surgery, my health will be restored. I plan to continue with farming once I am better.”
