Situation
Partially blind girl child was found sitting idle at Film Nagar,Sai Baba temple, in Hyderabad.She was identified by the Tv 5 [Telugu News channel] Journalists. The child is infected with HIV+ as both parents turned out to be positive cases. Her mother passed away in the year 2013 with HIV status and lost her father in the year 2016 with the same deadly virus. After knowing about the child situation, TV5 director MrBalwanth Reddy and his colleagues admitted the girl in DESIRE Society, Institutional care home Hyderabad.
Now child at DESIRE Society Hyderabad Care Home
Since the child was admitted in the DESIRE Society,we have been rendering our best for the quality for extension of life span of the baby. At the time of admission, she was malnourished and in desperate need of medical attention. She was neglected by her family members due to poor socio economic conditions. Her CD4 count was extremely low. She was offered proper counseling, treatment and medicines for opportunistic infections (OIs) by our medical team. She has received round the clock health care and monitoring.
The child was put onART (Antiretroviral Treatment, a lifesaving drug) as her CD4 count was very poor. She is also given access to balanced diet to cope up with ART medicines which has got higher possibility of side effects. DESIRE Society has put special attention for overall health development of the baby. Hence this has led her to gain physical weight. After these continuous efforts made by DESIRE Society team, now her health condition is getting stable and heading towards progression with a hope of tomorrow.
Now consultation for her eye treatment is under process and DESIRE Society is working to bring support for the treatment and for the connectivity of the best eye hospitals in this regard.
In house campus of schooling is assigned in her case and she isparticipating with zeal to study further in outside school too in coming years. The GlobalGiving support can bring in protective embrace for such children who are badly in need of extra care / spending required to get smile on their faces.
