Kamusiime is a mother of five from Uganda. She is a 50-year-old farmer.
Kamusiime’s neck began to swell, affecting her breathing and work performance. She was advised to have surgery at another hospital but couldn’t afford it. Luckily, she heard about our medical partner’s care center and came for financial help. She was diagnosed with a multinodular goiter. She needs surgery to prevent her symptoms from getting worse.
Our medical partner, African Mission Healthcare Foundation, is helping Kamusiime receive treatment. She is scheduled to undergo a thyroidectomy on December 5 at our medical partner’s care center. Surgeons will remove all or part of her thyroid gland. This procedure will cost $240, and she and her family need help raising money.
Kamusiime says, “I hope to resume cultivation after surgery.”
