32 year old vendor needs public assistance for heart surgery
Bharat Nankishore
Bharat Nankishore has been working all his life with his mother as a grocery vendor.
It was last year August “in the market” that the 32 year old began feeling a severe burning pain around his heart, and throughout his left arm.
Two days later he went to the Leonora Cottage Hospital and was diagnosed with an acute heart condition (Severe Aortic Regurgitation).
He was given various tablets for the condition, but his symptoms worsened, and he was subsequently transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.
More examinations were done, and doctors came to the same conclusion.
Nankishore was then told that he has to under go an Aortic Valve Replacement surgery.
The operation costs $2M and he and his family are seeking the public’s assistance to help pay for his life saving surgery given that they are unable to afford it on their own.
“Since the age of five he has been helping me with selling” says Seeraji Nankishore mother of the heart patient, who is appealing to the public to help save her son’s life.
According to Nankishore the National Insurance Scheme has covered most of the cost, and $864,000 is the balance to be paid before the surgery can begin.
According to Nankishore the surgery has to be completed by November, and was reassured by doctors that it is not a complicated operation, and will be 100% successful.
Anyone seeking to assist in any way may contact Kaieteur News or Bharat Nankishore at 268-3349 or 690-6903.
