Compassionate doctor with liver failure needs your help.

Dear Friends

Life teaches us some very hard lessons. Doctors see the circle of life, illness, and death every day and sometimes become a little insensitive and immune to these until it hits their close family or themselves. There is also a sense of injustice when illness deals a hard hand and they can no longer afford the treatment they desperately need.

Dr Lal Anthony works as a community physician in the Kerala Government Health Service. He is married to Dr.Sreeja who also works for the Government Health Service. They have a beautiful daughter aged 5 after years of infertility treatment. Dr.Lal was diagnosed with cryptogenic nonalcoholic end-stage liver disease and now needs an urgent liver transplant to survive. He is currently awaiting a suitable donor and is under the care of the specialists at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Kochi, Kerala.

His surgery alone is estimated to cost 21 lakhs [$30,000 /£25,000 approx). This is likely to double as his wife is no longer a suitable donor and he has already needed several admissions to intensive care for various complications.

We appeal to all the kind people of this world to support his fight against this illness and contribute generously to his cause. No matter what the amount, EVERY DONATION HELPS.

Dear Supporters,

Thank you all for your support.

I am doing fine now and am under remission. I have to visit the hospital for checkups every 3rd or 4th month. As of now, there are no issues related to my health.

I once again thank all of you for your constant support and blessings.

Regards
Lal Anthony

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for all the love and support. Your response has been truly inspiring and amazing. Thanks for standing with Lal Anthony at a time of grave need.

Lal Anthony underwent the surgery, and the transplant was successful, but he had developed complications. He had blood clots and lung injury, and had to be under oxygen support. There was water that started filling in his lungs and stomach too. He was in the ICU for 22 days and has just been moved to the ward. He is recovering slowly, the water is being drained. He has fever on almost daily basis and are having medicines for the same. The cause for this has not yet been diagnosed.

It was a robotic surgery, and the donor also had a few complications in the transplant. He had got infection and was hospitalized for the same. He is also recovering.

Thank you all once again for all the support you have given to Lal Anthony. Please keep supporting him and share the campaign with your friends and family since the medical expenses have increased due to the complications that was developed.

Thanks
