Baby Siddhi Sudhakar Rathod, a 3-year-old girl, has been diagnosed with a moderate large perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD). This congenital heart defect involves a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart (ventricles), which allows oxygen-rich blood to mix with oxygen-poor blood, causing increased workload on the heart and inadequate oxygen delivery to the body.
Siddhi has been experiencing symptoms consistent with a significant VSD, including difficulty breathing, poor growth, frequent respiratory infections, and fatigue. These symptoms indicate that the defect is significantly impacting her health and development, necessitating early surgical intervention.
The recommended treatment for Siddhi's VSD is an early surgical closure to repair the defect. This involves open-heart surgery to close the hole in the septum, preventing abnormal blood flow and improving heart function. The procedure will be performed at BALAJI Heart Hospital and Diagnostic Centre.
The estimated total cost for Siddhi's treatment, from admission to discharge, is approximately 250,000 INR. This includes:
- Preoperative and postoperative investigations
- Doctor charges
- Medication charges
- Consumables
- Anesthetic charges
- Operating Theatre (O.T.) charges
- Stay charges at the hospital
Siddhi's father works as a daily wage laborer, earning a modest income to support the family. However, the cost of his daughter's medical treatment far exceeds their financial means. The family's financial situation, combined with the urgent need for surgical intervention, makes it impossible for them to afford the necessary medical care for Siddhi.
Given the dire financial circumstances faced by Siddhi's family and the critical nature of her condition, we earnestly request assistance in securing funding or resources to cover the cost of her medical treatment. Every effort will be made to ensure that Baby Siddhi receives the specialized care she urgently needs to overcome the challenges associated with her congenital heart defect.
Your support and assistance during this critical time will make a profound difference in Baby Siddhi's life and her family's well-being. We appeal to your compassion and generosity in helping to alleviate their financial burden and provide them with the hope and reassurance they need during this challenging journey.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We remain hopeful for a positive response and deeply appreciate any assistance you may be able to provide.
