Life Saving Treatment to Children in Rural India

Rani (name changed) is 24 and lives in Amba Ka Vela village. This village has poor health facilities and so Seva Mandir started an immunization camp which caters to the pregnant women and the children. Rani came to the immunization camp during her second pregnancy and during the check-ups it was seen that her haemoglobin level was very low and she was anaemic. The immunization team advised her to consult a doctor immediately as she and her child were at risk. But she did not attach much importance to the advice and never went to the doctor. On her second visit to the camp, the team again asked her to consult a doctor and also advised her family to make sure she did. She was then taken to the hospital in Kurabad village by Seva Mandir ‘s staff from where she was referred to the Udaipur hospital. Rani went into labour in her seventh month and was put on a drip as her condition was poor. She gave birth to a stillborn child but the doctors were able to save her life. She became very weak after the delivery but gradually regained her strength. The immunization team's timely advice saved her life and this experience has also proved to be a learning experience for Rani for future pregnancies.

With the support from Friends like you, last year:

• 287 immunization camps were held in 108 locations
• A total of 5,810 shots were administered
• 942 children completed their immunization
• 2,796 children suffering from common ailments such as fever, cold, cough, diarrhoea and skin infections were treated in the camps
• The camps also provided antenatal services to 2,683 pregnant women

Thank you so much for bringing change in the lives of these women and children, and for your continued support. Please consider telling your friends and family about our project - tell them why you chose our project, what it means to you, and how they can also become a part of this CHANGE!

Thank you
