Rumi A., 28

Rumi Akter is a resilient 28-year-old mother who lives with her husband, their 4-year-old son, and her husband's elderly parents in a family of five. Her husband is the family's only earning member, serving as an imam at a local mosque with a monthly income of approximately BDT 7,000, which is barely enough to cover food and other essential expenses, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of hospitalization, investigations, 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 Rumi requires. Despite exhausting their limited resources, they cannot continue her treatment without financial support. Without timely obstetric management, moderate oligohydramnios can lead to umbilical cord compression, fetal distress, complications during delivery, stillbirth, and other life-threatening conditions that could endanger both the mother and her baby.

Doctors have advised a Lower Uterine Caesarean Section (LUCS) along with supportive treatment to ensure the safe delivery of Rumi Akter’s baby and protect both mother and child. With timely surgery and proper medical care, there is a strong chance of a safe delivery and gradual recovery for Rumi. Treatment will help reduce the risks associated with moderate oligohydramnios and improve the outcome for both mother and baby. However, if left untreated, serious complications such as fetal distress, umbilical cord compression, breathing problems at birth, prolonged or obstructed labor, and, in severe cases, loss of oxygen to the baby may occur. These complications can become life-threatening for both mother and baby if timely medical intervention is not provided.
