Sattam needs to have a hypospadias operation. And the earlier the operation is done at a younger age, the better
AMOUNT NEEDED 500 JOD
The amount includes an operation to repair the lower urethra, which is a surgery that takes between one and two hours (depending on the type of lower urethra) after which the patient is discharged after fully recovering on the same day.
Urethral correction surgery is very necessary as urine reflux may affect kidney function.
SATTAM’S STORY
Sattam, one year old and the youngest among his siblings, has a congenital problem in his urethra ever since birth. The pediatrician noticed this when he had a review, and told his mother about this in order to perform an urgent operation to correct his urethra.
His father was unable to perform the operation on Sattam in the first months of his birth due to the lack of the cost of the operation. The financial conditions worsened when his father became unemployed, as the house no longer had a breadwinner, and therefore debts and monthly obligations accumulated on the father’s shoulders.
