25-year-old Bishan Rai of Dhankuta Municipality-8 Lukuwa, who went to Malaysia after taking a loan from a moneylender one and a half years ago, has returned home after taking a loan due to serious health problems. Rai, who went to Malaysia with the dream of raising the family's financial situation, had to return with a load of debts and wounds, but it was a problem to raise medical expenses.
He went to Tetizer Company in Malacca, Malaysia as a worker in November 2080. He said that while going there, he took a loan of 3.5 lakh rupees from the moneylender. He fell ill four months ago without fulfilling his dream of sending home expenses while paying the loan. When he went to the hospital in Malacca due to constant stomach pain, he had to undergo an immediate operation for appendicitis.
He was treated at the same hospital for a month and had to return home empty-handed after his wounds healed. He said that he became more seriously ill after the wound healed and the stitches came out. Rai said that despite undergoing surgery for the second time in the same hospital, instead of getting better, the wound got infected and suffered more. He said that he asked for a loan from his friends and returned home after staying in the hospital for four months and not being able to pay for the treatment. Rai says that he was forced to return home as he could not pay the hospital expenses. "He had started to earn money, but due to medical expenses, his dream of being debt-free remained incomplete," he said, "all the money he had with him was gone, he had to ask his friends for a loan and return home." He arrived home a few days ago after the wound that was operated on did not heal for four months . After primary treatment at District Hospital Dhankuta, they are staying at their relative's house after further treatment at Nobel Medical Hospital in Biratnagar. He said that he was in extreme trouble because he had to rush to the hospital with the load of loans taken from creditors and friends.
His wife Dasmaya Rai, who was with him at the hospital, said that she tried to raise the expenses for the treatment but could not. Dasmaya says that everyone in the family is dependent on her, including her five-year-old son. We are very worried after the wound has not healed for months. It is also difficult to raise expenses,' she said.
Vision's salary in Malaysia was 1500 ringgit per month . He was sent home to pay half of his salary while he was healthy. Of the loan of 3.5 lakhs, only one lakh was paid. A month's stay in a hospital in Malaysia added to his debt . Before that, he said that he could not work regularly due to stomach pain. "I asked for more loans from friends and relatives to cover the cost of medicine and hospital," he said. He said that even after staying in Kathmandu for a few days and coming home, the expenses increased and he was unable to afford the treatment. The stitches in his stomach were re-stitched at Nobel Hospital in Biratnagar on Thursday. On Friday, he moved from the hospital to his sister's house in Dhankuta-7. After a few days, he said that he would have to go to the hospital for follow-up.
