Bahraini Awaiting Green Light for Essential Medical Treatment
Posted on: Monday, 12 December 2005, 15:00 CST
According to "Bahrain Tribune", a Bahraini stricken with a rare disease is raring to take a test medication at the Joslin Diabetes Center in a pioneer treatment arranged by local and US-based physicians. Twenty-three-year-old Hassan Ali Ahmed Fadhul is afflicted with severe idiopathic hypoparathyroidism, a hormone and calcium deficiency disease that weakens the body
. In August, Hassan, through the Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society (BHRWS), launched appeals for funding to help him take a test treatment at the Columbia University in the US. Legal hitches then prevented him from taking the treatment. Financial problems also bogged him down with the two-year test treatment, accommodation and other expenses in the US expected to reach some BD50,000.Source: Info-Prod Research (Middle East)
