Patrick’s mother, Leticia and her brother went to the Kyoto University Hospital for a consultation regarding the transplant.
As Patrick’s transplant is not covered by social insurance, we will have to make an initial deposit of \10,000,000 (ten million yen) for the transplant to be carried out.
Patrick’s uncle, who is his mother’s brother and donor for the transplant, did a blood test to assess compatibility. As soon as the positive result comes out, the deposit needs to be made, as described in the hospital’s explanatory document.
