Alesha Qaireen's parents, Budiman, said that they only realized this disorder since Alesha was 25 days old. So they immediately checked the condition of his daughter.
According to Budiman, after knowing that Baby Alesha was immediately operated on, by opening the side channel for a while before there was an anal canal.
“Alesha was in Jakarta, about 3 days ago she just finished her anal canal surgery. Now it's the 7th operation," he said.
He mentioned that his son had previously been referred to Jakarta, but they were constrained by costs so it was a bit late to deal with it, especially before the Covid-19 pandemic was still ongoing.
"So it was delayed, so far we have used our own costs," he said.
His party appreciates the assistance from PT Timah Tbk which has helped reduce the cost of treatment for their child.
"Thank God we were helped because we work odd jobs," he said.
Meanwhile, the village head of Mengkubang Pirmawan thanked PT Timah Tbk for helping one of their residents who was experiencing a disaster.
