An 11-year-old girl in the southern province of Ben Tre is on the verge of death after having to undergo six major surgeries.

Nguyen Thi Thu Huong was diaganosed with heart problems when she was just three months old. Huong’s mother said that Thuy is in hospital more than she is at home.

 

Nguyen Thi Thu Huong and her mother

In 2009, she had the first heart surgery and in 2010, she had a second to replace heart valves. In 2011, there were complications with her brain, requiring two more operations within a month.

After the failure of those surgeries and two subsequent ones, part of her skull had to be replaced.

Her parents, Nguyen Thi Thanh Nguyet and Bui Van Hai, had to borrow money from different sources as fees mounted to hundreds of millions of VND despite their insurance.

They eventually had to sell their house in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province. After selling the house, the couple and their ailing daughter to Ben Tre Province to live at a small house.

 

Part of Huong's skull had to be replaced

Without a stable job, their family’s economic situation is very difficult. Mrs. Nguyet is now unemployed after the cashew nut processing facility where she worked closed. Meanwhile, her husband manages about VND40,000 per day catching fish.

Although doctors said that Thuy should be brought back to the hospital every three months, due to the the family's poverty, she has not been in a year.
