Case Background
Sudharani is the 17 years old girl child of Mr. Krishna and
Mrs. Vijaya. Her parents work as
pushcart vendors and earn around INR 400 a day.
Last year, Sudharani was diagnosed with a critical condition in her
aortic valve at a medical camp organized by Ekam in partnership with the Hindu
Mission Hospital(HMH). She was immediately admitted to HMH where she underwent
an Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery on the 28th of August 2013. As her family is from Andharpradesh she could
not claim relief under the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s Insurance scheme.
Ekam’s Involvement
Understanding her family’s financial condition, Ekam
volunteered to take up her case. We paid for the total hospitalization cost
which came to around INR 1, 78,815, inclusive of surgery and medications. We
still needed funds to settle the hospitalization expenses and so we approached
the Women’s Welfare Syndicate that helped us raise funds for Sudharani through
an advertisement.
Current Status
She is not
completely fine and is attending her school regularly.
