Monira K., 18

Monira Khatun is a resilient 18-year-old woman who lives with her husband, elderly parents-in-law, her husband's unemployed elder brother, and sister-in-law in a family of six. Her husband is the family's only earning member, working as a construction laborer with a monthly income of approximately BDT 8,000, which is barely enough to cover food and other basic necessities, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of hospitalization, surgery, medicines, and delivery-related treatment. After learning about Helpster Charity through a staff member of Life Care Hospital, the family sought assistance in the hope of accessing the urgent medical care Monira requires. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely treatment, a breech pregnancy can lead to obstructed labor, fetal distress, umbilical cord prolapse, birth injury, severe bleeding, stillbirth, and other life-threatening complications that could endanger both the mother and her baby.

Doctors have recommended a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) to safely deliver Monira Khatun’s baby due to the breech presentation. With timely surgery and appropriate medical care, a safe delivery is expected, allowing Monira to recover and care for her newborn. The procedure will reduce the risk of complications during labor and ensure a safer outcome for both mother and baby. Without timely surgical intervention, there is a significant risk of obstructed labor, fetal distress, birth injuries, and other life-threatening complications.
