Medical support for Sowmya Akhil(M2- 2022)
Sponsor : Fr. Pinto Paul
We have a request from Akhil. His wife Sowmya Akhil has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
She had been hospitalized twice and underwent treatment. She is under medication and unable to find the money for all medical expenses. There is already a lot spent on hospital bills and medicines. The hospital bills were too high for them to manage. They haven't any other support. This Disease is severe and relapses at any time. The medicines and injections are very costly. The doctors have advised for rituximab injection which will cost from 50000 to 80000 rupees per dose. The injection itself will come from nearly 3.5 lakhs to 4 lakhs.They need to take at least 5 to 6 doses in order to increase the gap between the relapses. This is a very rare disease without any cure. It's very difficult to manage the expenses. According to the neurologist, the further attacks may be severe and if we do not take the injection then it might end up in partial or fully paralyzing the patient.
They have two daughters,elder one is in 10th grade and the younger one has not yet started schooling.
