Respected Sir / Madam,
Sub:Financial or Medical Assistance For Post Operative Medication for Post Transplant Kidney Patient badly needed.
With due respects let me introduce myself I, Sorampudi Venkata Ramana , was affected with chronic Renal Failure as per investigations conducted by Sunderam Medical Foundation, Chennai and Apollo Hospital,Chennai in the year 1999. I was advised to undergo Renal Transplantation for longer effective life, particularly as I was aged 36 years only at that time.
With my poor health I had to discontinue my job and has been staying with my old retired father who had spent all his savings for the prolonged medical treatment of my mother who also suffered from chronic renal failure. She expired two years back. I was on heamo-dialysis for about 2.1/2 yrs.In the meantime my father and myself have been making efforts to raise necessary funds for my renal transplantation. My erstwhile employer, who have always been sympathetic to me, have provided around Rs.50000/- and my relatives, my brother and sisters have helped me with around Rs 2.5 lakhs. A kind-hearted philanthropist known to my uncle helped us with a donation of Rs.1 lakh. I could also mobilize a grant of Rs.30000/- from Prime Ministers Relief Fund vide letter no.82 (11514)/2000-PMF.
With the help of the resources as above, I ventured to plan for my renal transplantation, the donor being a very kind hearted lady known to my brothers family purely on a voluntary basis, at Madras Medical Mission Hospital at Chennai.After necessary preparatory tests, and approval by the authorization committee, Directorate of Medical Education Chennai, constituted by Govt.of Tamilnadu for implementation of transplantation of Human organs Act 1994,
renal transplantation operation was successfully performed on 19/11/2002 at Madras Medical Mission Hospital, Chennai. For postoperative care I was placed under the treatment of Dr.Georgi Abraham , Consultant Nephrologist at the same Hospital. I was on the right course of recovery under his able treatment.
My present problem is how to meet the expenses of my post-operation medical treatment in future as it involves administration of highly expensive medicines like ‘Neoral’ Cyclosporine, ’Cellcept’ etc. As per the advise of the doctor, the first month may involved an expense of Rs.45000/- and subsequent months involved less and less expenses depending on the progress of my recovery. Already eight months have passed since I underwent kidney transplantation and at present my medical bill has come down to Rs 25,000/- per month ( Around US$ 600 per month ) and my recovery has been considerably improved with the periodical tests and able advise from Dr T . Ravi Raju, a consultant specialist in Nephrology at Apollo Hospital, Visakhapatnam who incidentally also is the Professor & Head in Nephrology Deptt in Andhra Medical College (KGH) , Visakhapatnam. The Doctor told me that I have to continue taking particularly two medicines life long i.e "Cyclosporine" NEORAL and "cellcept" which are expensive drugs in terms of Indian currency. The present dosage as per doctors advice is 225 mg of Neoral and 1250 mg of cellcept per day along with other medicines. The dosage might come down slowly depending on my recovery and progress .I am also trying for a job here as I am confident of my ability as well as health condition for which doctor also agreed .But all these efforts may not fully put me in a position to meet my medical expenses without the help from humanitarian and Kind hearted persons like you . I seek and appeal for help preferably by way of providing medicines to me mentioned above periodically or alternatively financial help, which will certainly bestow me a second lease of long sustained meaningful life and I shall ever be grateful to you and the ‘God Almighty’ in you for such help. We have almost exhausted all the known sources of financial help and my father may not be able to help much, though he is still working on part time jobs of small means. Any documents related to operation & hospitalisation will be furnished on your request.
I wish to establish a trust for renal patients at vizag with the humanitarian help and assistance frompeople like you.
With regards, Thanking you
Yours faithfully,
S.Venkataramana
