The Tafida Raqeeb Foundation (TRF) was established as a subsequence of Tafida’s brain injury in 2019.
Full information can be found in the website: www.tr-foundation.org.
TAFIDA’S STORY
Tafida Raqeeb was a healthy and bubbly 4 year old girl who in the early hours one February morning in 2019 woke complaining of a headache. Within minutes, she collapsed and was rushed to hospital.
Tafida was found to have had an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM); a complex abnormal tangle of blood vessels in which an artery bypassed a capillary bed and connected directly to a vein. The lack of a capillary bed created high pressure blood, causing arteries and veins to dilate and eventually to rupture.
Three different hospitals battled to save Tafida’s life. She was on mechanical ventilation and despite a negative prognosis constantly demonstrated the will to live, fighting off several infections.
She continued to fight until in June 2019, treating clinicians predicted that she would suffer from a major stroke and would die within a few weeks at most. At this point the treating hospital wanted to withdraw her life saving treatment and place her on a palliative care pathway. The family wanted to transfer Tafida’s care to Italy since there was no UK hospital willing or able to treat her. Legal proceedings were commenced, and her parents’ plea reached thousands around the world. Thankfully Tafida was given the right to live by the court and she was transferred to the Gaslini Hospital in Italy where she has continued to make progress.
OUR PROJECT
We are very pleased and extremely proud to announce to have the honour to bring together an elite and prominent team of medical professionals from America, Europe and UK consisting of surgeons, professors, medical doctors and many more specialties to Bangladesh for a very worthy and noble cause.
The Foundation will be hosting a medical camp in Bangladesh in February 2024. The main objective of the medical camp is to bring free healthcare and health information to the community and identify the common health problems in order to devise ways of addressing them. This free medical camp will make a difference to the lives of thousands of patients and their families. We are anticipating over 40 medical professionals participating from the following categories cardiovascular, ENT, emergency medicine, general Medicine, neurology, ophthalmology, orthopaedic, rehabilitation, respiratory, general medicine, urology and other areas will be added. We are anticipating treating thousands of people who desperately need treatments.
We invite you to join TRF in sponsoring hundreds of surgeries and treatments for the needy in Bangladesh.
Your donation is essential to cover the cost of the surgeries and the related procedures. The supported surgeries will range from simple surgeries to the most complicated ones that require special equipment and local teams.
HOW WILL YOUR DONATION BE USED
Your donation will be spent for covering the costs of the surgery, the medical equipment, hospital stay, medication and other needed supplies.
YOUR DONATIONS WILL CHANGE THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF NEEDY PEOPLE IN BANGLADESH WHO OTHERWISE WILL SUFFER FROM THEIR CONDITIONS!
Imagine the reward you will receive when a needy person receives treatments and makes constant duas for you.
