Wrong place to ask: This is the HT public information site where docs, primarily in the USA answer questions about health conditions. You are welcome to post general health questions as needed. However,we have no access to or information about local healthcare options around the world where this site is seen. You need to contact the health desk of whatever agency operates that process for such questions.
