Case Background
Gunavardhani
was born on the 27th of April, 2012 at Salem Government Hospital. She
is daughter of Mr.Rajappan and Mrs. Jothi who work as weavers and earn a
monthly income of INR 24,000/-. Gunavardhani was a healthy child till five
months, when suddently she faced difficulties in breathing and did not take her
feeds properly. After first aid treatment in a local clinic, she was shifted to
Life Line Hospital at Perunkudi where she was diagnosed with TAPVC, PDA and
Severe PAPP. TAPVC is a heart condition
where the blood does not take the normal route from the
lungs to the heart and out to the body. Instead, the veins from the lungs
attach to the heart in abnormal positions because of which oxygenated blood
enters or leaks into the wrong chamber. Without any delay she underwent one
major open heart surgery and recovered well but needed extended ventilator
support.
Ekam’s Involvement
Her
parents who has already spent over two lakhs in surgery and medications, could
not afford further treatment costs. Dr.
Shivakumar, who was the child’s consultant, reached Ekam for help.We helped the
parents to settle the pending amount of INR 50000, with the help of Women’s
Welfare Syndicate, a charitable organization. Gunavardhai was shifted to Institute
of Child Health and Govt Hospital for Children(ICH), where she received
ventilator support and medical care for 15 days. Though the child’s health improved
tremendously she still needed some medical care. So we arranged for ambulance
support to shift the child from ICH to Salem Government Hospital where she
received further ventilator care and was discharged after ten days, fully
cured.
Current Status
She is a
healthy child now and is living happily with her family.
