Health Woman and Child Development Ministry has stepped up to Help, DI forming “DI Medical Fund” for Babli's Post Operation Expenses

Babli & her family reached Delhi yesterday at around 4 am. We are happy to provide you with the following updates.

How is Babli's Health?

She is stable, doctors are still waiting for some more reports and then they will decide on final date of operation sometime early next week.

She will be discharged in 3 weeks after the operations positively, assuming Doctors see no complication. Post operation we need to keep her in KEM hospital Pune for another 2 -3 weeks.


Surprise Package of the Week!!

After admitting Babli in hospital Dr. Anupam Sibal personally came and  informed Sujit (DI volunteer who is accompanying Babli) that they have received a letter from Health, Women & Child development ministry (Copy attached with email) to EXEMPT  all surgery expenses.


What does this means?

This means that we only need to pay for medicines and other petty expenses; which brings down the estimated expenses in Apollo hospital to Rs.
7.25 lakhs. (Note, Government subsidy would operate on the original Operation Cost which was Rs. 16L-18L for Apollo)


How much money have DI - Donors raised till date?

(DI Continues requesting donors who haven't shared their identity yet to update the link given on blog or else drop us an email with your local address details if not done already)

What is the next plan of action after Babli's Operation?

We are continuously taking the stock of situation. We are likely to be left with around Rs. 7.70L after Babli's operation if everything goes fine and if there are no complications during or after the operation. In order to cater to Babli's Post Surgery medical needs, DI will form "Dream India Medical Funds" and deposit the surplus donations collected to it.

Post operation medicine expenditure of Babli is in tune of 10-15 k per months for first year and then 5k – 6k per month for another 8-10 years at least.
