Hyderabad, Apr 07: The Telangana Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development KT Rama Rao has come to the aid of a 10-month-old girl, Srilaxmi.
The girl's family were unable to afford her eye surgery and approached the Minister on Twitter seeking help.
Responding to the plea, KTR instructed his staff to coordinate with the LV Prasad Eye Institute or Sarojini Devi Hospital management.
On March 29, the family traveled from Prakasham to Hyderabad to get the girl treated as she is suffering from for Retinopathy of prematurity or ROP which requires surgery to save her sight.
Upon learning that their ration card and Aarogyasri scheme won't be applicable, their child's treatment got delayed.
After visiting the LV Prasad Eye Institute, they were suggested three procedures ranging from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 1 lakh.
Now, with KTR’s intervention, the management has sought for Rs 40,000. The family are ready to pay the amount and the surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.
