Giving hope to parents and life to a child
The situation in our world seems crazy. There are men who are at loggerheads, ready to nuke each other and destroy many more millions by pressing a button. Luckily there are a few who fight to save a child, with the latest technology available for them. One such person is my dear friend Dr. E V Raman.
He is the Head of department ENT and Manipal hospital, extremely busy. At the same time he is involved in helping the patients who are unable to afford the huge costs involved in medical care. The transition of a doctor who took the noble Hippocratic oath to become today a part of a commercial enterprise seems inevitable, but he has found ways, with the approval and help of the organization he is working.
He has been active helping people in need in his specialty for a long time.There are many inspiring stories which I plan to write. Before I do that I need to catch him and have a long chat! Not easy, however he sent me this invite which I am sharing!

Children’s Airway & Swallowing Centre
The ability to breathe and swallow is the most important prerequisite to sustain life. Thanks to advances in medicine, the chances of survival of newborns with life threatening birth defects has increased The inborn defects of the airway or food passage or narrowing of the airway caused by the very intervention to save the child's life might result in airway obstruction and swallowing disorders. Very often these children require highly skilled care to re establish the airway by relatively simple or costly complicated reconstructive procedures. The parents are usually low on morale and financially exhausted to support further care. The challenge is to set up the last mile connectivity so that the child can go home and enjoy the fruits of the costly treatment given. Conventional hospital setups both in the government and private sector are not equipped to handle these unfortunate children due to inherent problems in the existing pattern of healthcare. Apart from financial constraints, lack of necessary skills and communication across the specialities is a major impediment in optimal care of these children.
