“She has suffered from various complications related to an extended ICU stay, and we need more funds to pay for her continued hospital stay until her lungs can cope without the ventilator,” said her husband Marinus van Zyl in a brief statement on the fundraising. page.
Dr. Sindi’s hospital bill has already exceeded one million rand and the funds raised will give her a chance to survive.
“Sindi has dedicated her life to helping many people. She knew from the age of four that she always wanted to help people as a medical doctor. Now she needs your help,” concluded Marinus.
