Case Background
Mrs. Anitha gave birth to a male
child at Chengalpet government hospital on the 9th of January, 2012.
The baby, Hariharan , was born with respiratory illness and faced a lot of
difficulties in breathing. He was put under ventilator support and was
diagnosed with Septic shock, a medical condition resulting from severe infection and sepsis. Though the microbe causing this medical
condition may be systemic or localized to a particular organ, it causes multiple
organ dysfunction syndrome (formerly
known as multiple organ failure) and death. Its most
common victims are children. The child was in ventilator care at the Chengalpet
Government Hospital but went to a very critical stage. Doctors planned to shift
the child immediately to any other private hospital but family could not afford
the cost. Mr. Dilli Raja, the father of the child, works as a sales man in a sticker shop and earns about Rs.4500/- per
month. He is the only earning member of the family.
Ekam’s Involvement
Dr.Sathya Jaganathan, the Nodal
Officer in Chengalpet referred the child to Ekam. We shifted the baby from
Changalpet Government Hospital to Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust Hospital’s Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit, where he was treated by Dr. Rahul Yadav. Under his care,
Hariharan received medications for 20 days and was discharged as a healthy
baby. The total hospitalization and medication costs came upto INR 96805, which
was paid through Ekam’s emergency fund.
Current Status
Hariharan is
now a healthy 2 year old boy.
