A WESTERN Highlands man living in the National Capital District is appealing for financial assistance to undergo medical treatment in the Philippines to save his life.
John Kos (pictured), from Paglum village in Mul-Baiyer, is a father of five and works for the Port Moresby General Hospital.
Acting director of the Sir Buri Kidu Heart Foundation Dr Jack Amana, who treated Kos, recommended him for the kidney operation overseas.
He said Kos was a known patient with chronic high blood pressure and who was evaluated and treated with anti-hypertensive medications.
