Four–year–old baby Ayesha of Azampur village in Medak district underwent Intra Cardiac Repair for a medical condition called TOF (Tetralogy of Fallot). TOF is the most common congenital heart defect causing cyanosis, a bluish discoloration of skin caused by oxygen–poor blood reaching the general circulation. Without surgical intervention, most patients with TOF will not survive past early adulthood.
The normal cost for these surgeries is around 1.5 lakh rupees. For each surgery Chief Minister Relief fund has contributed Rs 65,000. Trust has approached members of the Rotary club of Jubilee hills who promised Rs 25,000 for each of these three surgeries.
For Dr. Gokhale and his committed colleagues, this is only the beginning. With support from philanthropists, "Sahrudaya" aims at relieving distress and agony among the poor afflicted with cardiac, pulmonary and vascular ailments and work towards prevention of these problems in the society.
