What happened to Purabi

• 18-Jul-2016:  she was operated for an ovarian cyst surgery in the Hayat Hospital, Guwahti, Assam. In this modern era of medical science, this was supposed to be a simple surgery. But fate had something else in store for her.
• She developed septicaemia (blood poisoning) as her bowel got injured during this surgery.
• 23-Jul-2016: On the 5th day from the first surgery, doctors from the Hayat Hospital had confirmed the leakage in her intestine and performed another surgery.
• But they failed to block the leakage and instead put drainage artificially.
• During this whole process her health got deteriorated. She developed multiple organ infection, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and Pneumothorax and also had a major cardiac arrest.
• The family had to shift her from the Hayat Hospital to the International Hospital, Guwahati, Assam for better treatment and management as per the Hayat Hospital’s recommendation.
• Now, Purabi is in the International Hospital, Guwahati, Assam and in ventilation since 06-Aug-2016.

Harekrishna, Purabi’s husband, has left no stone unturned to keep her fight alive and support her treatment. But it has not been easy for him to make the ends meet. Since admitted to the International Hospital, her medical expense has been around Rs 45,000 per day.

Please come forward, join hand in hand and help Purabi and the distressed family at their hardest phase of life. We hope to raise enough money to help Purabi so that she can come out of this battle, go back to dance and lead a healthy life once again.
