Donors helped the 20-year-old Sudanese patient, Nourhan, to pay part of the cost of her treatment.

The donors paid 7,000 dirhams, while the patient still needs 9,956 dirhams.

(Abu Nourhan) appealed to benefactors and white-hearted people to help him pay the remaining amount of the cost of his daughter’s treatment, pointing out that his financial situation is very bad, and it does not allow him to pay the cost of treatment.

And “Emirates Today” published on the 21st of last month the story of (Nourhan’s) suffering, due to her family’s inability to provide for the value of the nutritional supplement, and to renew the health insurance card.

The father expressed his thanks to the donors, and his happiness at their benevolent initiative to pay part of the required amount, hoping that others would take the initiative to help him so that his daughter might continue her treatment journey.

Nourhan suffers from Crohn’s disease, which affects the intestines and causes blockage. It also affects the digestive system and causes other health problems.

According to Tawam Hospital in Al Ain, she needs treatment follow-up and continuous reviews in specialized clinics, in addition to a certain type of nutritional supplement that she mainly relies on in obtaining nutrition.

The cost of the nutritional supplement for a year is 14,856 dirhams, in addition to the value of renewing the health insurance card, which costs 2,100 dirhams.

(Abu Nurhan) tells the story of his daughter’s suffering to “Emirates Today”, saying, “We did not discover that (Nurhan) had the disease until months following her birth. We admitted her to Tawam Hospital, where she underwent the necessary examinations and analyzes, and it was found that she was suffering from Crohn’s disease, which is A disease that affects the intestines, causing obstruction. It also affects the digestive system and causes serious health problems if the patient does not adhere to the treatment plan.

He added, “The doctor confirmed that my daughter needs continuous follow-up and reviews in the hospital’s specialized clinics. They also need a certain type of nutritional supplement, which they mainly depend on for their nutrition.

The father said that the cost of the nutritional supplement is 1238 dirhams per month, pointing out that the amount exceeds his modest financial capabilities.

And he added that the other problem that (Nourhan) faces is that she needs to renew the health insurance card so that she can visit the specialized clinics, and take an intravenous injection that is covered by the insurance card, while it does not cover the cost of the nutritional supplement, which amounts to 2100 dirhams.

(Abu Nourhan) works in a private entity with a salary of 8,357 dirhams, from which he pays the rent, electricity and water bills, while he cannot afford the costs of renewing the health insurance card and food supplement.

The patient’s father renewed his appeal to good people and people of merciful hearts to help him secure the cost of (Nourhan’s) treatment.
