Sajia A., 18

Eighteen-year-old Sajia Akter lives with her parents, Mohammed Mostafa and Shabnam Begum, and her three siblings—Reshma, Junayed, and Faruk—in a single cramped room in Geneva Bihari Camp. Her father’s small income as a rickshaw puller barely covers food and daily expenses for the family of six, making it impossible to afford specialized medical treatment for Sajia’s long-standing nasal condition and ongoing tuberculosis care. Despite her constant discomfort, headaches, and repeated nosebleeds, Sajia remains a caring and responsible daughter who helps her mother at home and supports her younger siblings in their studies. Without proper treatment, her breathing difficulty could worsen, the bleeding may become more severe, and her overall health could decline further due to complications from both her nasal condition and tuberculosis. After learning about Helpster Charity through the outreach camp at Al Manar Hospital, the family reached out with hope for support to restore Sajia’s health and future.

After learning about support services through the outreach camp at Al Manar Hospital, Sajia Akter was finally able to receive medical care for her long-standing nasal blockage. Doctors examined her condition carefully and admitted her on 16 February 2026 to begin proper treatment and manage her infections and breathing difficulties. For the first time in months, Sajia felt relief as medicines reduced her pain, headaches, and frequent nosebleeds. Though her family could not afford advanced care on their own, the support she received gave them hope that her condition could improve with continued treatment and follow-up. After being discharged on 19 February 2026, Sajia returned home breathing more comfortably and sleeping better than before. Her strength slowly began to return, allowing her to smile again and take part in daily activities. With ongoing medical support, her recovery journey has begun, giving her and her family renewed hope for a healthier future. Sajia Aker was admitted at 16-02-2026 , her operation was done in 17-02-2026 and get discharged at 20-02-2026.

Doctors have recommended septoplasty with reduction of both inferior turbinates, TESPAL, and polypectomy to correct the structural blockage inside Sajia’s nose and remove the polyp causing obstruction and bleeding. With this treatment, her nasal airway is expected to open properly, which will significantly improve her breathing, reduce headaches, and prevent recurrent nosebleeds. Successful surgery will also enhance her overall quality of life, allowing her to sleep better, concentrate on daily activities, and recover more effectively while continuing tuberculosis treatment. However, if left untreated, the obstruction and bleeding may worsen, leading to persistent infections, severe breathing difficulty, and further decline in her general health. Early surgical intervention offers her a strong chance for long-term relief and a healthier future.
