Mastour (10 years) has been suffering from head pain for 9 months, and his mother says they took him for treatment in the city of Al -Nahoud, and they gave him a treatment for malaria, but the pain did not stop, and they then turned it into the city of Al -Abyad, where they had a CT scan.
The mother recounts that they could not stay in the hospital because of the expensive cost of about 80 USD, and they had to go to Meroe Hospital in order to treat her child.
At Meroe Hospital, a magnetic resonance was performed for the child to show that he had a head -tumor, and doctors asked to perform surgery for the child after taking treatment.
The mother says that her son was seen and speaking, but his words said because of the constant headache and loss of vision a month ago, as he lost the sense of smell.
To perform the surgery, the mother was required to provide a sum of about $ 1,200, but – as she says – has only a small amount that has no value – about 20 dollars – allocated to eating, drinking and medicines.
The mother, her son and her brother were staying in the hospital, and they do not have another place they went to, knowing that the father of Mastour died 7 years ago.
However, the sorrows of this mother turned into joy after the “Imran” program guaranteed the amount of the surgical procedure for her son, who returned to him.
The condition of the child is hidden reflects the conditions of cancer patients – especially children – at the level of Sudan, especially during the war period in the country.
