Maliha Muntaz R., 12

Maliha Muntaz Risha is a bright and polite 12-year-old girl who dreams of becoming a school teacher someday. She lives in a small tin-made house with her parents and two siblings, where her father—earning only 9,000 BDT a month as a sales assistant—struggles to provide for the family’s basic needs. Due to their financial hardship, they cannot afford the urgent surgery Maliha needs for her Peri-tonsillar Abscess. Without timely treatment, the infection could spread to her neck and chest, leading to life-threatening complications. Despite her pain, Maliha remains hopeful and prays for a chance to recover and return to school to chase her dreams.

Patient Discharge Summary Patient Name: Maliha Muntaz Risha Date of Admission: October 15, 2025 Diagnosis: Peri-Tonsillar Abscess Procedure: Tonsillectomy Date of Discharge: October 17, 2025 Maliha Muntaz Risha was admitted to the hospital on October 15, 2025, with a diagnosis of peri-tonsillar abscess. A tonsillectomy was successfully performed on the same day to address the condition. Following two days of post-operative care, she was discharged in good health on October 17, 2025. Her father and mother were present at the hospital to receive her upon discharge. The family expressed their sincere gratitude to Helpster, Jumuna Clinic, and Bablu Abdullah for their dedicated treatment and compassionate support. Her father was especially thankful to Helpster for the financial assistance provided, which greatly supported the family during her treatment.

The doctor believes that with timely drainage of the abscess and tonsillectomy, Maliha will make a full recovery and be free from the painful throat infections and high fevers that have disrupted her daily life and schooling. The surgery will allow her to eat, sleep, and speak comfortably again, helping her regain strength and confidence to return to her studies. It will also spare her family the ongoing emotional and financial stress of repeated treatments. However, if left untreated, the infection could spread to deeper tissues of the neck or chest, leading to severe complications that could endanger her life. Early surgical intervention offers the best chance for Maliha to enjoy a healthy, active childhood and pursue her dream of becoming a teacher.
