Jane is a middle-aged woman who is undergoing serious pain in her spine and waist area. In August 2019, she complained of hip-area pain and had ointment applied. Over the weeks, the pain has become severe accompanied with numbness in both legs. She hardly sits down and has to be assisted to make every move. Pain medicines have not been helpful to her. She had an MRI and was diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) of the spine. She requires surgery to relieve her of the pain and regain her ability to walk.
Jane used to be a peasant farmer while her husband is a driver. The
mother of four children is not able to raise the full amount required for surgery. They have managed to raise $1,000 and the national insurance has committed to pay $1,300. The family is hoping to raise the remaining amount from Watsi supporters.
Jane says, “I am in severe pain and my prayer is that soon I will be able to walk with ease.”

Jane underwent tuberculosis treatment but unfortunately later suffered complications.
Jane had a successful surgery to help treat her TB and was wheeled out of the operating area to the general ward while she was stable. However, we are deeply saddened to share that our medical partner updated us that she deteriorated postoperatively. Jane developed confusion and hematemesis. The hospital stepped up her care to a High Dependency Unit, then the Intensive Care Unit, where unfortunately she passed away. Her cause of death was unknown and her family chose not to have a post mortem. Our hearts and sympathy go out to her family.
