Shafiq

4-year-old Shafiq is a lively little boy who has undescended testis that only surgery can correct. It’s an important operation as if they remain undescended it can lead to other medical problems such as an increased risk of testicular cancer and fertility problems later in life. Surgeon’s recommend surgery earlier rather than later as complications are less likely to occur and recovery is quicker. Shafiq’s needs an orchidopexy operation - a typical example of the low-cost, high-impact operation’s we fund. His family don’t earn enough to afford the treatment so we’re hoping we can raise enough to cover the hospital bill.
