The Challenge
Chronic illnesses such as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), cancer, disability and congenital defects are lifelong and cause for a substantial financial drain on the patient. For poor families, this can be devastating and most end up selling all of their assets to gain a few extra years of life or give up entirely and wait to pass away. Proper and timely treatment is a luxury for poor families, one that very few can actually afford or keep up with.
Our Intervention
We currently supports 30 (and counting) persons with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and currently undergoing dialysis, persons with cancer, persons with disabilities and persons in need of emergency and critical surgical interventions.
- We tie up with hospitals across Bangalore for the provision of subsidised rates for our beneficiaries
- We sponsor 4 dialysis sessions a month
- We sponsor certain recurring medical consumables per month
- We provide monthly ration kits for poor patients and their families
- We provide skilling and up-skilling to persons with disabilities to help them be independent
- We sponsor the cost for emergency and critical surgical interventions
