Case Background
Mrs. Sundari, wife of Mr.Arul Jyothi went into labor on the
22nd of May 2010 at a government healthcare center in Ponnur
Village. However, she was unable to deliver the child despite the breaking of her
water bag. She was first transported to Vandavasi Government Hospital and from
there she was moved to the Chengalpet Government Hospital. Four hours later, Sundari
delivered a beautiful girl child. Unfortunately, the child soon developed a
breathing problem and had to be put under ventilation support. Arul Jyothi is a
weaver and earns about Rs.2000 per month. This amount is barely enough to meet
the needs of his four member family (2 children + his wife).
Ekam’s Involvement
Since Chengalpet Hospital did not have the necessary support
system, the child was once again shifted to Child Trust Hospital in Chennai
with the help of Ekam Foundation. Upon arrival, the baby was put under
ventilator support and was treated appropriately. The baby received treatment
for two weeks and the medical costs amounted to INR 1,23,489 (Rs. 91,191
Hospitalization charges + Rs. 32,298.50 medical charges). Child Trust Hospital,
very generously, agreed to provide a 50% discount on the hospitalization
charges. Therefore the total fund requirement of INR 77,894 was paid by Ekam
Foundation.
Current Status
The child is now
3.5 years old. She is living a healthy and happy life with her family
