Campaign Story

“…whoever saves a life, it will be as if they saved all of humanity.” – Qur’an 5:32.

Can you imagine developing symptoms of cancer and having no means to pursue diagnosis and treatment or to be given the all clear? There is no NHS in Bosnia.

Rural Bosnia is lacking in health facilities, meaning that people are passing away prematurely and suffering from a lack of healthcare support through major illnesses. Growing humanitarian needs in Bosnia are also increasing demand for a service which doesn’t exist to accommodate the existing population. Healthcare which we all take for granted, few of us consider how much we value access to it until we need it. However thousands of people in Bosnia in poor rural areas require access to diagnosis for diseases such as cancer.

CT Scanners are commonly referred to as CAT Scans. Carried our by a radiologist in a clinic, CT scanners deliver detailed imagery of internal tissues, organs, blood vessels and bones. They are commonly used for:

• Diagnosis – Breaks, internal organ damage, blood flow, stokes and cancer.
• Identifying the need for testes and treatments – e.g. if a tumour is detected during a CT scan, the patient will be referred for a biopsy.
• Monitoring long-term conditions – such a monitoring if a tumour is responding to treatment to shrink it.

An entire population of Bosnian people (254,686 people) have no access to CT scanners. It is estimated that 150,000 patients annually are in need of diagnosis through such a service and will benefit from access to this CT Scanner.
