Tunisie Telegraph: Initiative to save child Wajdi Bouziane gains Health Minister's support
The story of 16-year-old Wajdi Bouziane, who suffers from serious injuries following a car accident, revolves around the urgent need for surgery due to head and spinal injuries. The family is struggling to cover the costs of the operation, which amount to around 8,000 dinars, amid a difficult financial situation after the child's father stopped working months ago due to a previous work-related accident. Thanks to a fundraising appeal launched by Wajdi Zakar, head of the Tunisian Organization of Young Doctors, there was widespread popular enthusiasm across Tunisia, with hundreds of citizens calling to donate. This led to the Ministry of Health intervening to ensure the necessary equipment was available and the operation could be carried out quickly. Although the child was successfully saved, Zakar noted that the challenge extends beyond temporary funding; it raises questions about the Tunisian healthcare system’s ability to meet the needs of those in need without relying on emergency appeals, especially since many cases go unnoticed and their voices do not reach the authorities.
