HYDERABAD: To help critically ill children in dire need of medical attention and lack the financial resources to undergo treatment, Heal a Child Foundation, a charitable trust and non-profit organisation has come forward to bear the expenses of their treatment.
The mission of the foundation would be to heal and save critically ill children who may not survive, not because of their illness but only because the family cannot afford to pay for the medical expenses and treatment, said Rachna Mehta, a trustee with Heal a Child Foundation.
Reaching out
In Hyderabad, 10 children need critical care everyday. All of them need treatment, but we need to reach out to at least one child a day, said former Miss World Diana Hayden, who is the brand ambassador of the foundation.
The Foundation has tied up with six private hospitals in the city – Rainbow Children's Hospital, Lotus Children's Hospital, Apollo Hospital, KIMS Hospital, Sunshine Hospital and Nice Hospital.
According to an understanding, the hospitals will treat the children in a special category and support the foundation by giving maximum possible concession on the medical bills, it was stated.
"At this stage, we are not going to the children. They have to go to the hospitals. If they are unable to undergo treatment because of financial constraints, then we step in," said Dr. Dinesh Kumar, a trustee of the foundation and director of neonatal and paediatric intensive care service at Rainbow Children's Hospital.
Appeal
Speaking at a press conference to announce the launch of the foundation, Ms. Hayden requested corporates to step in and help children in dire need of medical aid. We aim to raise funds for the care of critically ill children needing intensive care support with a specific focus on the new born. We are especially interested in saving the girl child, said Ms. Hayden.
Set up in June this year, the foundation has helped treat six children during the last 1.5 months, according to Dr. Dinesh. We also helped one child whose father is a worker in a cloth shop in Godavarikhani about two months back, he said.
