Case Background
Yuvaraj was born to Mrs. Nathiya and
Mr. Murugan on the 22nd of December, 2011, at the Chengalpet
Government Hospital. Right after birth, he was facing difficulties in breathing
and was immediately shifted to the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for
oxygen support. The baby’s health showed no improvement even after 6 days of
ventilator support and so the doctors suggested shifting the child to a private
hospital. Mr. Murugan, who works as a coolie and earns about INR 100/day, could
not afford a treatment in a private hospital.
Ekam’s Involvement
Dr.Sathya, the Nodal Officer at Chengalpet GH, referred this
child to Ekam. Without any delay, we shifted the child to Kanchi Kamakoti Child
Trust Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with issues of
intrauterine hypoxia, meconium stained amniotic fluid, pneumonia, upper airway
obstruction and sepsis. The child was
under ventilator care for about 21 days and his health improved tremendously.
The total hospitalization and medication cost came to INR 116754. Meanwhile,
the child’s parents also reached out to Women’s Welfare Syndicate for financial
support. The below mentioned donors were very helpful in helping Ekam support
this child’s case.

Current Status
Yuvaraj is
now 2 years old and is growing happily with his family. We sincerely thank all
