Kisah seorang rakyat Malaysia, Mohamad Sahar Mhd Noor, 57, yang terkena strok di London mendapat perhatian yang meluas di Malaysia. Bapa kepada empat anak, Mohamad Sahar cukup teruja untuk menyambut Aidilfitri baru-baru ini bersama keluarga disamping menghadiri majlis graduasi anak perempuannya yang menamatkan pengajian Sarjana dari Brunel University, London. Bagaimanapun, hanya selepas 20 minit dia keluar daripada Balai Ketibaan Lapangan Terbang Heathrow pada 4 Julai, Ketua Kerani di Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Mara (KKTM), Negeri Sembilan itu, diserang angin ahmar sehingga menyebabkannya terlantar di katil hospital sehingga hari ini. Apa yang memeritkan, kos perubatan Mohamad Sahar mencecah RM245,000 dalam masa lebih kurang sebulan beliau dirawat di hospital di sana. Sehubungan viralnya kisah itu, anak kepada Mohamad Sahar, Fadhli Sahar, meminta agar rakyat Malaysia mengambil iktibar dari apa yang terjadi kepada keluarganya. Fadhli berkata, dia mengakui kesilapan pertama mereka adalah tidak mengambil insuran perjalanan. “Saya perasan ada sesetengah orang marah kerana (kami) tak ambil insuran. “Dan betul itu adalah kesilapan pertama kami. Kami menyesal dengan perkara itu. Benda ni dahpun jadi dan kami sekeluarga perlu berfikir pelan seterusnya untuk bawa ayah kami pulang.”, kata Fadhli. “Saya berharap dari kejadian ini, rakyat Malaysia dapat belajar bahawa insuran perjalanan adalah sangat penting semasa ke luar negara“, kata Fadhli lagi. Dalam perkembangan terbaru, BH Online melaporkan Mohamad Sahar dijangka akan dibawa pulang pada 8 Ogos ini yang akan dibantu oleh MARA dan Kerajaan Negeri Sembilan. Dalam pada masa yang sama, Mohamad Sahar mendapat bantuan rakyat Malaysia yang prihatin dengan keadaaanya dari segi kewangan menerusi https://www.gofundme.com/saharnoor. Disebabkan kes yang terjadi kepada Mohamad Sahara ini membuka mata rakyat Malaysia untuk mengambil insuran perjalanan. Jangan ambil lewa terhadap kepentingan insurans perjalanan. Ada kes yang berlaku apabila terjatuh ketika berjalan di musim sejuk akibat salji yang licin. Kos rawatannya di negara tersebuut hampir RM 30,000 ! Jika anda tidak faham, elok bertanya pada pihak penyedia insuran apa-apa yang anda rasa perlu ada dalam polisi insurans perjalanan anda. Secara amnya perlindungan akan diberikan kepada pemegang polisi insuran travel. Hanya jumlah pampasan serta bentuk perlindungan mungkin sedikit berbeza antara satu syarikat insuran.

Masa nak masuk hospital mungkin tak terfikir nak bring back ke malaysia... medical cost in foreign c ...
A loving idea of having one whole family to celebrate Eidulfitri and university graduation in London together has turned into a nightmare.
Soon after my family arrived at Heathrow Airport, my father (Mohamad Sahar MHD Noor) suddenly collapsed and things changed since then. I panicked and depressed thinking what could happen to my father as he has no travel insurance. To make matters worse we couldn’t afford the hospital bills in the UK.
He was transferred into ICU,Charing Cross Hospital, London and the doctor in charge urged to go for an operation. Despite the money issue, we know that the operation is crucial and need to be carried out immediately. He underwent right frontal external ventricular drain (EVD) to release his brain pressure and to allow the blood to come out from his brain.
During that time, he was given sedation, low blood pressure drug and antibiotics. He was suspected of have speaking disorder, unable to move his right body and suffered memory loss.
After 3 weeks, he could open both of his eyes and reacted to us when we talked to him but we are not sure whether he understood or it was just unconscious reflex.
A few days after that, we received news that my father’s employer agreed to give us an advance to undergo medical treatment in the UK. The advanced given meant so much to us, however after three weeks we were informed that the medical expense amount was capped at £30,000. We still can’t afford to cover the full cost since, at the time of writing; the cost to date has reached approximately £45,000.
Currently he is in Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) ward, Charing Cross Hospital, London whereby he needed to go for therapy sessions, therefore the bills keep accumulating.
The doctor has permitted us to bring my father home with the condition that he should be on a stretcher or in a lying position at all times. He can’t sit for a long time and had a tracheostomy. He needs to be accompanied by a doctor and nurse on board as a precaution.
Currently we have discussed with Malaysia Airline (MAS), and they advised us to purchase few economy class seats since that is the cheapest option available, and we are now still awaiting further feedback from the Airline.
My family and I are humbly asking for your kind prayers for his speedy recovery and would appreciate your financial support to cover his running medical expenses and travelling costs. Your sincere help means a lot to us.
Family Background
My name is Amirah Sahar, from Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. I am currently a postgraduate research student at Brunel University, London.
My father, Mohamad Sahar MHD Noor is a loving father of four and also four grandchildren. He works as a chief clerk at Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi Mara (KKTM), Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.
My mother, Hawiyah Ahmad, is a technician at Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.
My eldest brother, Adhwa Sahar is married with three children, however he is about to start his new job.
My second brother, Fadhli Sahar is recently unemployed after graduating in Masters in Petroleum due to the global market turmoil in the energy sector - looking for a new job
And finally my youngest sister, Atikah Sahar - a fresh graduate and currently seeking for any suitable job.
My father likes gardening and house cleaning. Despite all odds, like most parents he is very hardworking on striving for a better future for all his children. He is a loving husband, father and grandfather.
Our hope now is that he can be discharged soon so that we can continue his medical treatment back home in Malaysia.
Thank you for reading our desperate appeal.
We are humbly grateful for your heartfelt compassion and generous support.
May the AlMighty bless you and your family onwards and upwards. Ameen.
As we do not know the actual costs for my father, any surplus of this fundraising will be donated to charity so that others in-need can benefit as well.
