Mohammad H., 1

Mohammad Hasan is a precious 1-month-old baby boy who lives with his parents, 5-year-old sister, and elderly grandparents in a six-member family. His father is the sole earning member, working as an auto-rickshaw driver and earning only around USD 57 per month, while the family has already exhausted their savings and borrowed money for Hasan’s NICU treatment. Hasan now urgently needs specialized eye treatment, but his family has no financial ability to afford the required Anti-VEGF injections and regular retinal examinations. Without timely treatment, his eye condition may progress to retinal detachment and permanent blindness, severely affecting his future. Despite their hardship, his family hopes that with proper support, Hasan will be able to grow up with functional eyesight and enjoy a normal childhood.

The patient required urgently requires Anti-VEGF (Avastin) injections in both eyes, followed by regular retinal examinations to monitor his recovery. With timely treatment, the abnormal blood vessel growth can be controlled, allowing the retina to develop properly and giving Hasan a good chance of preserving functional vision. If treatment is delayed because of financial hardship, the disease may progress rapidly, causing irreversible retinal damage and permanent blindness in both eyes. Early treatment and regular follow-up are therefore essential to protect his vision and support a normal childhood.
