Mohammad Haaji was born on the 30th of April 2016 with a number of complications. He was a premature baby and suffered from pneumonia and neonatal varicella.

It was a complicated case of maternal varicella where the foetus itself was affected. His parents Sheikh Mohammed Meeran and Shabana who resided at Kancheepuram were casual labourers whose monthly wages came up to around Rs 5000.

This was barely enough to manage the most basic needs of the family. The patient was in a very serious condition on admission and required immediate medical attention. When he was 5 days old, doctors advised to shift him to Saveetha Medical College. The child was provided with further treatment at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the cost for which was Rs. 21680. The parents were in no position to bear the expenses.

Dr Kumutha from Saveetha Medical College referred them to EKAM and we stepped in. Along with our team of expert doctors we ensured immediate treatment for the child. Necessary funding for hospitalization and drugs were provided and the treatment was successful. The baby was required to stay at the Intensive Care Unit for 2 weeks following which he was discharged. Today, Haaji has completely recovered and is a healthy young lad.
