Support 15 year old Dani get life saving surgery in Germany

Hi Donna.

Have you tried Te Whatu Ora's (Health NZ's) High Cost Treatment Pool (HCTP), which is funding available for the treatment of qualifying patients who cannot access the treatment they need in NZ? Criteria are available here: https://www.tewhatuora.govt.nz/for-health-providers/publicly-funded-health-and-disability-services/high-cost-treatment-pool

I sincerely hope you are successful in your efforts to get Danielle the treatment she needs, that the treatment is successful, and that you try to get funding from the HCTP if you haven't already canvassed that option. Kind regards. Nigel Allardyce
