This is the story of Hassan and how self-catheterization and LoFric has saved his life. Hassan lives in Lebanon and has a spinal cord injury from a shooting accident in 1989. After the accident, then 17-year-old Hassan was sentenced to a life at home, staying in his bed all day. His quality of life was very poor and his doctors did not have high hopes for him, they gave him only 5-10 years to live. After that, they thought that the health problems he suffered from as a consequence of the accident would lead him to a certain death.
Today, more than 20 years later, Hassan is leading an active life and is more alive and vigorous than ever. He is married to the lovely Maryam and they have a son together. All this has been made possible thanks to the self-catheterization therapy and LoFric catheters.
