Support Doctor Couple Regi & Lalitha To Treat The Tribals



Twenty five years ago, they started by building a small hut for a hospital with just a single room, a hundred watt bulb and a bench.
Infant mortality rate in Sittilingi has reduced to 20/1000 which is one of the lowest in India and there are no mothers dying in childbirth for the past 5 years.

When they first came here 25 years back in 1993, they were faced with a lot of challenges. With absolutely no money with them they had to raise donations to do even the simplest of medical procedures, they were in isolation with no friends around and the nearest phone being 100 kms away. Their kids were just growing up and they had no schools for them here. They faced tough resistance from the villagers too but once they saw the couple struggling and still living amidst them with an aim making a difference, the villagers started having a lot of love and respect for them. They are now adored as elders in the society.

It is unfair to ask a tribal population to support this level of healthcare for them. If we stop doing this then they won't have the means to visit the city for treatment, they will just go back to their huts and die."
Dr Regi & Lalitha need your support to keep this running.

Blooming Mother and Child program: Last year we started our Mother and child program afresh. The Govt offers antenatal checks and deliveries free – along with an incentive of Rs 18000/- for each mother !! Unfortunately, most tribal mothers think it is low quality care and many do not make use of it. So, with the help of Indus Biotech [as their CSR], we started offering all antenatal care free including medicines and lab investigations and a nominal amount for scans. All deliveries are at Rs. 1000/- and should they need a Caeserian, it is just Rs.5000/-. The mothers get a ''baby kit'' as soon as they deliver and all babies born here get a Pink Card which makes all treatment here free for the next 3 years. Needless to say, we have seen a 25% increase over the year and every day about 30 – 40 antenatal checks in the OPD. Could this be a solution?
