Sakada is a 29-year-old doctor. He’s been married for one year and his first baby is due soon. In his free time Sakada enjoys playing football with his friends and colleagues.
Two years ago, Sakada had an ear infection. This infection caused the tympanic membrane, or the ear drum, in his right ear to perforate. For this reason, Sakada experiences pain and discharge. He cannot communicate clearly with others, making his job at the hospital difficult.
Sakada traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On November 1st, he will undergo a myringoplasty procedure in his right ear. During this procedure, surgeons will close the perforation. Our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, is requesting $464 to fund this procedure. This covers medications, supplies, and inpatient care.
Sakada said, “I hope after the surgery my hearing will improve so I can work easily and be free of pain.”
