An appeal to philanthropists

Ludhiana, December 23, 2016: Baby of Pinky, a newborn male was admitted in critical condition at Christian Medical College (CMC) and Hospital with the absence of his food-pipe since birth. The child’s parents are daily wage laborers, whose financial situation is extremely precarious. The child was operated at in the Department of Pediatric Surgery CMCH and underwent a major operation where a new food-pipe has been made for the child. Post operatively the child has needed ICU care and is on a ventilator as he has been having recurrent pneumonias. The child will now require a further operation to control the backflow of food from the stomach which is because of the absence of a valve in the stomach.
