At the Jandarshan programme organised on Thursday, Chief Minister Raman Singh gave immediate approval for financial aid under Sanjeevani Kosh for treatment of 15-month-old Aayush, who is suffering from Neuroblastoma, on request of his father Chain Singh, a music teacher in private school by profession.
Chain Singh, whose monthly income is not more than Rs4000 per month, told Raman that his 15-month-old son Aayush is undergoing treatment at Sanjeevani Cancer Hospital and whatever savings he had, has gone in bearing the medical expenses. However, Doctors have prescribed estimated additional expenses of Rs1.5 lakh for Aayush’s treatment, and he is unable to arrange the same due to his weak financial conditions.
Chain Singh had attached the estimate given by doctors along with the application, requesting for the financial aid under Sanjeevani Kosh. Chief Minister immediately gave approval on Chain Singh’s application.
At the programme, Chief Minister approved several applications requesting financial aids under Sanjeevani Kosh for treatment of
critical diseases like cardiac problem, tumour and those related to kidney, and forwarded the applications to officials concerned for examination and sanction of amounts. Meanwhile, 30 patients were sent to Ambedkar Hospital of Raipur for free medical aid, on instructions of Chief Minister.
