Tuberculosis Patient - Bhawani



Thirty six year old Bhawani is the mother of three children and the wife of a rickshaw puller.  She has tuberculosis, but with no money to spare she has been unable to seek treatment.  Treatment will cost about 15,000 rupees (335 USD) over the course of nine months.  This treatment will likely make the difference between life and death for her, so we really hope we will be able to help her!

Respected Rupa Prabhu,

Tuberculosis is an endemic disease in India.Hence Indian government provides free ANTI TUBERCULOSIS DRUGS (DOTS PROGRAMME).These medicines are imported from abroad & of very good quality available at all primary health centers for free.Also in vrindavan there is a Govt. hospital exclusively for TB patients just next to BHRC giving free treatment.Kindly direct this lady to these places & she can receive regular free treatment for 9 months.
