Description
Situation
Ms Yap Siew Fong, 28 who had been suffering from diabetes, eventually suffered kidney failure as she kept changing her medication. She began dialysis treatment in April 2015. Due to her unstable blood pressure, she needs blood transfusion after each dialysis session. Each day, she is not allowed to drink more than over 500ml, and only allowed three small portions of meat. Ms Yap needs dialysis three times a week, with two injections incurring very high cost.
All expenses are paid by her son, who is in the auto tinting business. However, this doesn’t leave much to pay for their house installment. Her husband has to use his EPF funds to cover the monthly installments.
Ms Yap shed tears throughout our assessment interview. She revealed that it’s been a long tiring process from the moment she realised she had to go for dialysis and she is now mentally exhausted.
