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.
