success.

Asree’s parent approached the hospital because the deformity was making it difficult for
her to sleep and had led the family to be ostracized by their farming community.
they couldn't afford the two thousand five hundred to three thousand seven hundred euro
cost of their treatment, so surgeon Ahmad Obaid Mojadid agreed to her for free.
Mojadid described the surgery as “the first of its kind in Afghanistan east”. he also added
‘we don't have very developed equipment, but we are very happy to have conducted the
operation successfully”.
