The woman is supposed to travel to India for an operation after she lost several tendons in the attack.
Posting on Twitter on Friday Modi said,
“Needed urgently is a nurse or doctor with Advanced Cardiac/Trauma Life Support qualifications to fly to India with Cherish Muchegwa.
“We need someone who wants to save a life not someone after money. A volunteer will be most welcome if possible.”

The Bulawayo South MP called for funding from well wishers and organised car wash event to raise the USD$10 000 needed by Muchegwa for the operation in India.
Narrating her ordeal in March Muchegwa said she could hear her skin being ripped from her bones as the dogs feasted on her.
She was saved by a neighbour who sustained injuries also in the process.
