Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) is one of the leading causes of death among children worldwide. Symptoms of SARI are similar to COVID-19 (fever, breathing issues, etc).  Hence, these children have to be tested for COVID-19 and treated as possible COVID-19 cases until the test results are confirmed. 

Due to the lack of isolation wards, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE’s) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s) to treat them, many hospitals are refusing treatment to  S.A.R.I symptomatic children.  In addition, COVID 19 testing protocols including PPE’s have increased the cost of treatment substantially. This is making medical care unaffordable for children from poor families leaving them to make some very tough choices.

Choice Foundation in collaboration with Little Stars Children's Hospital, is ensuring that children suffering from SARI get timely and free access to treatment on par with the paying patient.  The cost of treatment varies a lot based on the severity of the illness and treatment needed.

THE AVERAGE COST OF TREATMENT FOR ONE CHILD OVER 5-7 DAYS IS INR 1L.


INSIDE THE ISOLATION WARD

The hospital has converted its Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit (BMT) and ICU into a temporary 12 bed S.A.R.I isolation ward.  The isolation ward is equipped with a dedicated X-ray machine, ventilators, and 24x7 monitoring equipment so that the patients need not leave the isolation ward. These patients will be treated here as per the Government of India mandated protocols until their COVID-19 test results are available.  If tested positive for COVID-19, they will be shifted to the state government hospital for further treatment.  If the results are negative, the hospital will continue their treatment and discharge them when fully recovered.

CASE STUDY

ABOUT ME

My name is RISHI CHINTAMANENI, I am 16 years old and in Grade 11 at the Chirec International School, Hyderabad.

Children from poor homes/orphanages etc with SARI (Severe Acute Respiratory Illness) are finding it difficult to get treatment during the current COVID-19 situation. Hospitals think they have COVID-19 because of similar symptoms (fever, breathing issues, etc).

The Choice Foundation in partnership with The Little Star Hospital has worked to create a separate wing to help treat these children. The cost to treat them it involves medicines, consumables, COVID-19 testing protocols, and stay of parents (in case they are outstation children). Getting treatment for these children is a matter of life and death.

Let us come together and ensure that these children receive the best of treatment and are able to get treated by the best doctors at the Little Star Hospital.

How does crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.

It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.

Updates have been committed to after the campaign ends.
This is an open forum for all funders of this campaign.
