The general public is being urged to donate money to help 48-year-old Rebecca Eshun pay for a bone grafting procedure.
For the treatment intended to treat her spondylolisthesis, a spinal condition that has impacted her lower vertebrae, she would need to pay GH¢97,048.
The FOCOS Orthopaedic Hospital is scheduled to perform surgery on Rebecca Eshun, but the former independent jeweler’s failure to raise the required finances is making the disease she has been battling since 2019 worse.
She has struggled with back discomfort, upper and lower limb pain, and difficulty walking for about three years.
During the period, initial recommendations by doctors after neurological and radiological evaluation suggested she was to be treated without surgery.
However, frequent follow-ups now point to a surgical intervention in her lower back to relieve trapped nerves and stabilise the spine using implants.
The cost covers theatre, ward stay, recovery medication, feeding, physiotherapy, six months of orthopaedic outpatient follow-up care, x-ray and laboratory tests.
Individuals willing to assist can do so through her MTN Mobile Money number – 0551145709 [Rebecca Eshun] to enable her garner funds for onward payment into the hospital’s account.
