Dear well-wishers,
Greetings from Santhi
We noticed that kidney
patients are increasing day by day and the only solution is either to undergo
transplantation or continue dialysis with no hope for the future.
However, due to the lack of donors, hereditary diseases and their low financial
status etc most of these patients are depending on dialysis to extend
their lives. Many patients have died, unknown and unheralded simply because
they could not afford the charge of dialysis .many patients have to travel long
distances just to get to a dialysis clinic. Some die without knowing that, they
have kidney failure and they could be help by dialysis.
For these poor
patients, our trust is running FREE and subsidized dialysis units for the past
10 years. Our three
Subsidized & Free Dialysis units are currently
functioning in Trichur Heart Hospital, Palakkad Thangam Hospital, and waynad
kalpatta dialysis unit, two FREE Dialysis units
in Kunnamkulam, Perumbadappa and two well-equipped Mobile Dialysis Units
in Calicut and Palakkad with 30 dialysis machines.
These all are running for the poor with well qualified Nephrologists, 45 full
time staff and technicians. Totally, we are
providing nearly 1500 dialysis per month including all our units, 900 FREE and
charging balance dialysis at a subsidized rate of Rs 400
only.
Above this subsidized
dialysis charge, the patients bear additional charge for dialyzer, blood
tubing, Inj. Expogen, Epoetin and Heparin. After each dialysis, Blood volume
decreases by 100ml. To compensate this blood loss, patients must take
these injections weekly. Now we are using F5 and F6 dialyzers. (F5 reuse-
8times and F6- 10times.) However, each time we spend Rs. 50 for cleaning dialyzers
in R.O water. Other regular medicines cost will range
from Rs.1000 to 1500.
Most of our kidney
patients are very poor even to afford this subsidized rate of Rs. 400. Weekly
they need 2 or 3 dialysis. Therefore, we are providing free dialysis for our very poor
patients in Palakkad and Trichur dialysis units. For this noble cause, we are
looking forward to help from organizations. Cost of one dialysis is Rs. 400.
Now we have 160 poor patients in our unit. If we get some sponsors who are ready to donate Rs.
1200 monthly, it will help us to provide free dialysis without
much more difficulties. We need 350 members for this project. Now we have only
168 members joint. Sir please helps us run this
free dialysis and forward this to your kindhearted friends.
?Many drops make an ocean
?
This is a very difficult letter for
me to write but many avenues seem to have been closed to me so I hope you can
take the time to read this and help us to continue this noble cause. If you require additional information about
our free dialysis project, please contact me and I will be happy to answer any
questions you may have. We hope you will
join with us once.
Under the circumstances, we humbly request you to help us maintain
our life saving project for kidney patients who have placed all of their hopes
and expectations in us. We hope that your good self will understand our mission
and greatly honor with your blessings and invaluable support to our cause.
