My name is Maryam Yazdanfar. I am a refugee living in Denizli, Türkiye. I suffer from scoliosis, a condition causing an abnormal curvature of the spine. Due to severe pain, I underwent surgery on December 17, 2020, at a local hospital. The specialist implanted nineteen platinum plates in my spine, but the surgery was poorly performed. This worsened my condition, causing increased pain, blackened vertebrae, and reduced spinal fluid.
Six months later, I had another unsuccessful surgery. A severe infection led to a third operation within a week, which also failed. Several specialists then diagnosed that the plates were loose and required a new surgery. On March 30, 2022, I had my fourth surgery by the same doctor, but my condition did not improve. Despite paying for each operation, the hospital administration ignored our complaints and offered no further assistance.
In Istanbul, another specialist found that all previous surgeries were unsuccessful. None of the platinum plates were correctly inserted; four were dislodged, and one was broken. Due to multiple surgeries, my muscles have weakened, necessitating another operation. Unfortunately, due to restrictions imposed by the Turkish government on refugees, I cannot sue the surgeon or claim compensation from the hospital.
Now, I need another surgery, but I can no longer afford it. Without this operation, I will be confined to a wheelchair for life. I am appealing for financial assistance through this petition. Thank you to everyone who can help.
