A 16-month-old boy is suffering from a rare Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The kid Vihaan Akulwar has been diagnosed with this rare genetic disorder and the treatment is very costly.
The doctors treating him have prescribed Zolgensma, which costs Rs 16 crores and works only if administered in timely manner.
Dr Ann Agnes Mathew from Bangalore Baptist Hospital is treating Vihaan.
Vihaan’s parents Dr Vikrant Akulwar and Meenakshi have appealed to the generous people to donate money, which is being raised for Vihaan’s treatment. So far around Rs 3 crore has been collected. But more fund is required for his treatment. A few kids suffering from SMA, in India have been cured through crowd funding.
The donations can be deposited in Bank Account – 90923105797251, Account Holder Vihaan Akulwar, IFSC Code – IDFB0020101 o0r for UPI transaction: assist.vihaan19@icici.
Vihaan’s father Vikrant Akulwar can be contacted on phone 7798355777 for more details.
