Hello Friends, Good Afternoon.
Just to keep you informed of the happenings here. Yesterday I met Dr. Suman Jain and also happened to meet Dr. Tapadia too. We had a good chat. I went there for two reasons. One to know whether Dr. Suman prepared a strategy on how we can help them to create awareness on Thalessemia disease. The second reason is to discuss the feasibility of my idea reg. the Eenadu HelpLine. Luckily Dr. Tapadia is also there. He suggested that any help is of importance and also he values the money that is given out of feel for the cause. We can donate blood and we can donate money and also we can try our level best to spread the cause. Simply we can forward the message: Help a child. Know Thalessemia. and a phone number of the society. Coming to the Eenadu Helpline, my thought is.. the present scenario is not useful in the right purpose. They are just giving whatever money that is coming directly to the needy. Later we all do not have any clue on how that money is being spent and what is the status of the patient etc., My surprise is donors too didn't ask for any evidence in turn except for the photo that the cheque is given to the needy or so and so persons send this much amount etc., If we can convince few hospitals to take up such cases and also the funds that are sent for particular cause be given to the hospital in the name of the patient. There is nothing to lose for Eenadu here. The place where it is posting the news and photo, it can post the same news. The photo taken while giving the cheque to the hospital. This will be a Win-Win situation for both hospital management, doctors and Eenadu helpline. Also the donors will be assured of the money being served for the purpose. Also more donors will be interested to send money this way (I suppose). I went to discuss the business angle in the view of hospital management and doctors. She said the idea is good and there is no loss for hospitals or doctors. I am eager to meet Ramakrishna garu of Eenadu Help Line and I wish to put forward my efforts in this regard. Result ofcourse I do not bother. But I wish to try because I strongly believe in the idea and also the feasibility and practicality of it too. P.S. Out of topic ofcourse. In hyderabad, citizens are asked to take injections for 3 months in a row for Hepatitis B and two other diseases. I have taken one today. It seems I am being a frequent visitor to hospitals for one reason or other :) But luckily the injection was not at all painful :) Thank you. with regards, Prasanthi.
