Hi Fellow Friends,
This is the baby of one of my CSC colleague in Malaysia. Her baby is diagnosed with Biliary Atresia. A rare condition on newborn infants. (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biliary_atresia)
She was only 3 month old when diagnosed with this rare condition. Their last hope is a liver transplant which will cost them around RM500K, thus they are appealing for monetary help as the medical fees
is too huge for them to handle.
Let's help this baby girl and give her a future she deserves yeah.
Extract from one of my colleagues email below
Loke Kai Xin was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia when she was three
months old and a Kasai procedure (hepatoportoenterostomy) was done way
back in February 2009. Unfortunately, the procedure did not cure her
condition and she was advised to go for a liver transplant as her last
and only option.
Due to under weight, she was advised by UM Specialist Centre (UMSC),
Malaysia to seek medical help from Singapore. After the first
pre-assessment at National University Hospital of Singapore (NUH), both
parents were found to be suitable candidate donors for Kai Xin. Both
parents were in NUH on 1st of June 2009 for the second pre-assessment to
confirm and determine their suitability to be the donors.
The total cost including post-operations and follow up is expected to be
around RM500K which is equivalent to 200K Singapore Dollars
(pre-assessment, liver transplant, post operations, follow ups & etc) or
more due to her age.
This amount is just too expensive for them to bear in full; therefore
they are appealing for your help.
