Md Al Arafat A., 16

Arafat Ashik, a 16-year-old class ten student, is a bright and determined boy who dreams of becoming a teacher one day. His father works as a day laborer, earning only 8,000 BDT a month to support their family of four in a small tin-made house, leaving nothing for costly medical treatment. For the past year, Arafat has been suffering from persistent cough, nasal obstruction, and breathing difficulties, and doctors have diagnosed him with DNS and HIT, recommending urgent surgery (Septoplasty with SMD). Without treatment, his condition may worsen, making it difficult for him to breathe, study, or pursue his dreams. Despite his illness, Arafat remains hopeful, but his poor family desperately needs support to give him a chance at a healthy life and a brighter future.

Md Al Arafat Ashik was admitted to the hospital on September 25, 2025, with Nasal Obstruction with DNS with HIT. On the same day, doctor conducted Septoplasty. After two days, he was discharged on September 27, 2025, in good health. His uncle came to the hospital to receive him. The family expressed their gratitude to Helpster, Jumuna Clinic and, Bablu Abdullah for their treatment and support. His father was especially thankful for the financial assistance provided by Helpster.

Arafat Ashik's diagnosis of a Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS) with Hypertrophied Inferior Turbinate (HIT) requires urgent surgical correction. The prognosis is that this condition, which has caused his to suffer from severe throat pain, fever, and breathing problems for a year, will continue to worsen without intervention. The doctor's opinion is that a Septoplasty with Submucous Diathermy (SMD) is necessary to alleviate these symptoms and prevent further complications. A septoplasty primarily aims to straighten the nasal septum to improve breathing, while the SMD procedure addresses the enlarged turbinates, which are contributing to the nasal obstruction. Without this surgery, he is at risk of developing more serious health issues like chronic sinusitis and could face a significant decline in his quality of life, making it difficult to continue her education.
