Fundraising campaign launched for patient's cancer treatment in China

A fundraising campaign has been launched to cover the 400,000 USD medical costs for 39-year-old Başak Buba, who is undergoing bone marrow transplant treatment in China for leukemia. Through public donations, 200,000 USD was raised within the first 15 days, allowing Buba to begin the initial stages of treatment.

The campaign, approved by the Nicosia District Governor's Office, is scheduled to continue until December 9. Ahmet Buba, the patient's brother, expressed frustration regarding the lack of support from government officials. He noted that while several mayors and members of parliament have provided assistance, high-ranking officials, including Health Minister Hakan Dinçyürek and Prime Minister Ünal Üstel, have not visited the fundraising site or offered formal support.
