New Mother urgently in need of medication

Recommended Posts

My young Panamanian friend recently had a baby.  Unfortunately, the
physicians attending her at birth failed to correctly and cleanly
close the Cesarean section they had to perform.  This resulted in an
accumulation of blood and infection and a nightmare to follow.  After
two weeks in the hospital with high doses of antibiotics she was sent
home  because it was too dangerous for her to remain in the hospital
because of the pervasive bacterial contamination. She was provided
with a machine which was to drain the accumulating blood and pus, but
the drain was inadequate and she has become sicker and weaker.  The
family cannot afford the very expensive antibiotics and social
security does not provide them or the pain medications she so
desperately needs.  They have frantically taken her back to the
hospital because they are justifiably terrified that she will not
survive at home.  This is an added burden as transportation costs for
her aunt who must be with her.  Now she has been sent home again and
is getting weaker and having difficulty breathing.  I have given all I
can financially and hope that some of you will be able to help.  We
are not talking about a large amount of money.  About $500 would cover
her needs at this point.  Whatever is given I will portion out equally
and return to you the portion that is more than what is needed.

To say that the Panamanian health system is overburdened does not come
close to the actual state of affairs.  Please call or email me if you
would like to help. It is not much for one person if many contribute a
few dollars.  Thank you to all who wish to help.  Time is of the
essence as she is in serious trouble.
