Salma is a regular patient at our medical clinic who we used to treat for diabetes and hypertension.
Then, the past two months she was coming with the complaint of prolonged periods along and increased bleeding. She also experienced severe abdominal pain.
Our physician asked her multiple times to visit a gynecologist and get an ultrasound done. Salma always replied that she did not have money for the scan.
This past November, with the support of World Compassion Fellowship, we were able to purchase an ultrasound machine and hire a gynecologist. Salma was the first to get her checkup from the OBGYN.
While her ultrasound report revealed she has uterine fibroids, she is now getting treatment, and her symptoms have improved!
Salma is very thankful to RAM and World Compassion Fellowship for providing all the facilities under one roof.
