Migrants & Refugees in Need of Help

Dear Doctors,respected colleagues and friends, Good day to you all. You may know me or you may not and so I will introduce myself and I am Gladis from the Catholic Doctors Association.I am the Chairman of the Physician Outreach Programme which was launched in 2007 at our association's silver jubilee celebrations. As part of our POP programme we have done a lot of work among refugee and migrants. Right now I am helping the Sahabat Support Centre at Ampang Point under MSRI and we have at this very moment 5 refugee ladies who are pregnant. Now this is where we need some help. I have placed all these ladies under the govt clinics and they pay RM7.50 per visit and they pay on their own. They are all going to deliver at Ampang Hospital but We have the cost at the hospital all worked out and some of these refugees are really worried about how they can come up with the money for the delivery. Normal delivery: RM 800.00 on admission. Final payment may be something like RM900.00+++. Caesarian section:RM1000.00.Final payment may be something like RM1200.00+. So with no mincing I have one refugee who is Gravida 6 and Para 5 who is due on 24/10/2012. She may be due earlier. The rest will be along the way. I need someone or persons to extend help for these refugees. Please send me only the queries and if anyone is interested please contact me to meet the patient at the Sahabat Support Centre next Wed 10.10.2012 at 1pm-2pm. In this way we cut through all the red tape and ensure a direct help one to one. I always believe in small miracles. I may be wrong politically writing this note to you but when we are done with that we can make a difference in people's life. Thanking You You may send your response to cdamail@yahoo.com and this will be forwarded to Dr Gladis
