Dear Supporter,
Thank you for standing with us and making life-saving medical care possible for those who need it most.
A 38-year-old woman came to one of SEMA’s hospitals after months of silent suffering. She had been experiencing severe bleeding and recurring abdominal pain, conditions that deeply affected her daily life. With a history of multiple cesarean deliveries, her situation was both physically and emotionally exhausting.
After undergoing an MRI scan, doctors discovered the underlying cause: a highly vascular uterine fibroid responsible for her ongoing symptoms.
Traditionally, cases like this often require open surgery, which carries higher risks and a long recovery period. But thanks to the advanced medical capabilities available at SEMA, our medical team was able to provide a far safer and less invasive solution.
Using interventional radiology with advanced DSA technology, the team performed a uterine fibroid embolization procedure through a catheter. Specialized coils and microspheres were precisely placed to block the blood vessels feeding the fibroid — all without any surgical incision.
The result was more than a medical success.
Her bleeding significantly decreased, most of her symptoms disappeared, and she regained the ability to live her life without constant pain or fear — all without undergoing major surgery.
Stories like this show that modern interventional treatments are not a luxury — they are a necessity. They provide safer, faster, and more effective solutions that protect patients from unnecessary complications and long recoveries.
Because of your support, these advanced services remain available to women who otherwise might not have access to them.
Together, we are turning pain into hope — and bringing healing closer to those who need it most.
With gratitude,
