Sultanie IBRAIMOVA 11 years old Aplastic anemia, grave form   Died in August 2001

Sultanie was admitted to the Hematological department of the Crimean Children Hospital on June 11, 1997. After thorough tests, the diagnosis became known: a grave form of aplastic anemia. To confirm the diagnosis, the girl with her parents came to Kiev. The trepanobiopsy test confirmed the disease.

Rarely people live more that a year with such disease. Sultanie made four years...

Was it possible to overcome the disease, to defeat it? IF a long and complete treatment had been done, starting since the very beginning (which required expensive medication, very expensive in our reality). IF one of the hematological centers had accepted the girl for the surgery (alogen transplantation of the bone marrow). IF the funds had been found for this surgery. Would it have been successful then? Nobody knows.

In the real conditions, the doctors have made for the girl even more than was possible.
