Robert is a 69-year-old man from a rural village in Malawi. He has nine children and lives on a farm. He spends his days collecting firewood, playing with his twelve grandchildren, and going to his church.
Two years ago, Robert began to experience difficult and painful urinary symptoms. Over time, the condition has grown worse, eventually hindering his ability to work and play with his family.
“I am in much pain and I need this surgery,” Robert says. “Thanks to Watsi, I will get my procedure!”
Our medical partner, World Altering Medicine, is requesting $733 to cover the cost of a prostate resection surgery. The operation is scheduled for February 15 at our medical partner’s care center, Nkhoma Hospital. Robert is expected to make a full recovery.
