Sarjo Cham, 28, a native of Jarra Soma, Lower River Region (LRR), is in dire need of help to undergo overseas medical treatment.

According to a report issued by the Medical Board of the Royal Victoria Teaching Hospital (RVTH) and dated 14th August 2003, Sarjo Cham was diagnosed with chronic osteomyelitis, was operated on the 6th of June, 2002, and had sequestrectomy done on her.

The medical report further stated that presently, her right knee joint has been completely destroyed and its movement is limited.

Her orthopaedic surgeon has stated that she needs right knee replacement. "The board recommends for her to go for an [operation] overseas," the report said.

Sarjo Cham said she has been struggling with this chronic disease for more than 14 years now. The 28-year old girl noted that the  disease has rendered her useless and if not controlled may even get worse.

Sarjo Cham said '"My life is at stake, because I have no assistance". She appealed to the general public, the government and the private sector to come to her aid in order to enable her to regain her health. Persons wishing to help can call 9311943  or 7663882.
