Case Background
Patricia Babu gave birth prematurely to twins, in her 30th
week of pregnancy, at Madras Medical Mission Hospital. Her husband, Mr. Babu
Rajendra Prasad, works as a chef in a private hotel for a monthly salary of INR
9000 and is the sole earning member of his family. As Babu and Patricia married
for love, they did not have their families to support them during difficult
times. Both the babies were put under
ventilator care at the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which costs
about INR 10000/child/day. Babu was unable to fund this treatment and was on
the lookout for some form of help.
Ekam’s Involvement
Dr.Venkatesh, who was the consultant for the children,
approached EKAM and requested for support and treatment for one of the kids. As
per the doctor’s request, EKAM agreed to support the female baby of Patricia
Babu. The child received six days of intensive
care and was discharged as a healthy child. The medical expenses, that amounted
to INR 60,519 was fully funded by Ekam.
Current
Status
Baby is
recovering and getting follow up treatment.
