RUBAISHA
.
Rubaisha is 11 years old. After spending nine futile years
trying to find a cure for her deteriorating kidney condition
at other hospitals., her mother brought her to SIUT 2002,
where she was diagnosed as suffering from and stage renal
failure. In 2005, she underwent a kidney transplant and after
nine years she was able to live a normal healthy life.. At
last.
Firstly, her father was having difficulties finding a job.
Her mother was struggling to make ends meet by stitching clothes
to support Rubaisha, a son and another daughter.
Secondly, the success of Rubaisha’s operation largely
depended on preventing the risk of post operative infection.
Unfortunately, Rubaisha’s family was living in a single
room in her uncle’s house, and the risk of serious infection
was high. However, given that Rubaisha’s father was
still without a job, her family could not afford to find alternative
rented accommodation. |
Rubaisha
is just one of the many thousand of patients that come to
us every year with a story that goes well beyond their medical
condition.
|
Rubaisha’s treatment
was straightforward and effective.
She was admitted, she was diagnosed, she was treated.
Her life was saved.
But as is so often the case, Rubaisha had other issues
to contend with.

To give Rubaishas father the means to support his family
and earn enough to pay the rent required, we bought him
a vegetable cart.
Nest, we found suitable housing for Rubaisha’s family
