ovarian fibroma

My sister just got checked by obgyn in Botswana (Africa), the doc said that she has an ovarian fibroma which has to be removed.  It is 15.8 cm x 13.5x 9.9 and I don't know if Botswana has hospitals with the resources to perform such procedures. Does anyone know?  What is the price of a surgery like that?

Hi,

I do know there is a Private hospital at Gaborone and which supposedly offers a high level of treatment. Your sister could perhaps travel across the border to Johannesburg where there would be far more options available. But if that were the case, I would Only recommend that she went to one of the Private Clinic's in Sandton or Rosebank (or similar).

I have no idea what the cost would be.

Best of luck to you both...Janet

I guess I should have posted the question on medhelp international.
