Case Background
Veera
Manikandan is the third child of Mr. Velmurugan, a laborer in the match
industry at Sivakasi. Velmurugan earns around INR 3000 a month and is the sole
bread winner of his family. When he was 5 years old, Veera Manigandan was
affected with viral fever and received treatment at a local clinic. However,
there was no improvement in his health and the ailment went to a critical
stage. His parents approached Mr.K.Pandiarajan, the MLA of Virudhunagar and one
of the Trustees of Ekam. Mr. Pandiarajan referred the case to Mr.
Krishnamurthy, one of the staff members in our foundation.
Ekam’s Involvement
Mr.Krishnamurthy
spoke to the family members of Veera Manikandan and asked them to come over to
Chennai for further treatment. The child
was admitted into Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust Hospital’s Pediatric Intensive
Care Unit and diagnosed with intra-abdominal cysts and
lymphangiomas. Mesenteric cysts are estimated to occur in one out of every
20,000 pediatric admissions while retroperitoneal cysts are less common and
more troublesome. The child received 20 days of hospitalization and medication
in the hospital’s intensive care unit. Ekam sponsored the treatement for the
child.
Current Status
Veeramanikandan
has recovered completely and is currently living happily with his family.
