KARACHI: A small shop merchant from Larkana is seeking help to get treatment for her daughter who is a cancer patient and is waiting for her death at her home in Larkana. Madiha Bhutto wanted to become a doctor and his father Ali Ahmed Bhutto promised her that he would fulfill her dreams, but when she got admission in her intermediate in 2013 she fell ill and later diagnosed with cancer. Ali Ahmed Bhutto first took her to Larkana Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy (LINAR), a modern hospital to treat cancer patients and was recently upgraded with a cost of Rs 400 million, but the hospital management excused. While talking Daily Times, Ali said he was advised to take her to Karachi but since he was unable to afford the treatment cost he borrowed money from friends and relatives to take her to Aga Khan University Hospital, where she was admitted for few days. Ali soon found himself in crisis again as he spent Rs. 300,000 he received as donations from his relatives and the AKH asked him to take her daughter back home. “We then came back to Larkana and she was admitted to LINAR,” said Ali. Madiha so far got one biopsy and two doses of chemotherapy and now she is waiting for another high doze of the chemotherapy or in other case, if doctors suggest, she will go through bone marrow transplantation, but her family is unable to afford the cost. ‘The bone marrow transplantation will cost up to Rs. 3 million. I have already sold almost every valuable thing I had and now I have nothing to sell, therefore, I brought her at home and she is waiting for her death,’ said Ali with tears in his eyes. Ali said time is running out for Madiha. He appealed to the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chief Minister Sindh Syed Murad Ali Shah, Maryam Nawaz, business tycoon Malik Riaz and local political leadership to help save the life of her daughter.
