Assistance from MoSA and Kitabisa.com for Rafael Continues Treatment
TABANAN (JUNE 6, 2022) - Born without an anus, Rafael Tanti Agung (11
months) from Bere Village, Bangka Medan Village, North Rahong District,
Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT) finally received the
donations/donors collected by the Ministry of Social Affairs in collaboration
with Kitabisa.com worth IDR 55,325,071.
The handover of assistance was symbolically given
to Rafael's parents, Melkior Tanti through Mahatmiya Bali Center, witnessed by
Gusti Ayu Laksmi from Kitabisa.com. Each month the assistance will be
transferred for IDR 3,000,000 to the beneficiary's account which
is used for medical support costs and needs during treatment.
Rafael Agung Tanti is the 6th child of 6 children of
spouses Melkior Tanti (48) and Wilhelmina Nial (36). Rafael was born without an
anus. From February 9, 2022, until now, Rafael and his parents have been at Mahatmiya
Center Bali, a Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) belonging to MoSA, and
undergoing treatment at Sanglah Hospital Denpasar accompanied by social workers
and nurses.
The surgery to create an anus at Sanglah Hospital was
carried out on April 18, 2022. Currently, Rafael is undergoing regular
observation and control at the Pediatric Surgery Polyclinic to monitor surgical
wounds and their function properly. Observations and exercises will be carried
out for approximately 6 months.
Based on information from the hospital, if in
approximately 6 months the anus is ready for use, the next operation will be to
reconnect the intestine which is used as disposal in the stomach. So that feces will be removed through the anus.
When handing over the assistance, Sri Wibowo hoped
that the costs would ease the burden on his parents. "With this
assistance, hopefully, it can lighten the burden of Mr. Melkior and Mrs. Nial
and be used for needs during treatment", said Wibowo.
