On 4/5/2023 our little butterfly Makka arrived to us
At the time, she was 2 years and 3 months old. Makka was suffering from severe abdominal swelling caused by a congenital hydatid cyst that had been growing with her since birth and infiltrating her vital organs. Her mother had taken her across several hospitals and medical centers in different governorates, but all refused to intervene surgically due to the extreme risks it posed to Makka’s vital organs. One doctor, however, referred her to Nile Hope Hospital — which became, for the family, their last hope. By then, Makka’s abdominal circumference had reached nearly 71 cm. Her condition was deteriorating and she was in great pain. During the examination process, her mother called urgently to say that Makka’s health was worsening. The medical team responded immediately, admitted her for examination, and prepared the operating room without delay. By the grace of God and through the exceptional skill of our doctors, the massive hydatid cyst was carefully removed from Makka’s abdomen without any damage to her vital organs. She came out of surgery in stable and healthy condition. Makka’s mother was overwhelmed with joy at her daughter’s survival and said: “God delayed us all this time so that my daughter could be blessed to come to Nile Hope.”
