Mr. Muthu (61) recently underwent a below-knee amputation due to severe diabetic complications. He is currently recovering in a rental flat, but the remaining surgical wound requires meticulous, specialized dressing changes three times a week at a nearby polyclinic to prevent dangerous secondary infections. Because of his limited mobility and the lack of a wheelchair-accessible vehicle in his immediate social circle, the recurring cost of specialized medical transport and wound consumables has rapidly depleted his meager savings.

Financial Breakdown:

• Wheelchair-Accessible Medical Escort Transport (3 times/week x 8 weeks): S$1,680

• Polyclinic Wound Consumables & Specialized Hydrocolloid Dressings Co-payment: S$920
