Praanam Children's Foundation – a non profit organization established in 2011,  based

in Hyderabad and  renowned for its gap funding to treat   underprivileged children

undergoing complex surgical operations  & treatments, has today come forward to

donate medical essentials for children who have been affected by the recent floods in

Tamil Nadu.

Many children have been affected or have the potential of being affected by both water

borne and air borne diseases such as diarrhoea, viral fever, malaria, dengue, typhoid etc.

Pranaam Children’s Foundation is sending medical essentials like medicines, immunity

boosting tablets, milk powders, biscuits and important medical products used in

administrating intravenous fluids ( saline bags ), intravenous  cannulas are being

dispatched for these children in Cuddalore.

Praanam Children's Foundation has a broad vision for children under three major goals

: 1. Supporting  underprivileged  children with medical needs through  funding for

major surgical operations  or medical treatment for diseases such as cardiac problems,

cancer, brain disorders etc.  2. Mass population ( childrens ) screening  programmes. 3.

Promotion of high quality medical education and research in the field of Pediatrics.

 Speaking on the occasion of despatching the first batch of medicines & essentials

to Cuddalore, Dr VSV Prasad, Co-founder and Trustee, Pranaam Children’s

Foundation said "The floods that occurred in some of the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu

should be an eye-opener to us as it is a sign of global warming and is a major natural

calamity that has showed no mercy on people. We should be responsible citizens and

ensure that we are environment-friendly.” He added, “The aftermath of floods is usually

dangerous and can be life threatening. Children are most likely to get affected as being

at a young and tender age they are less immune  to diseases. To counter the danger of

catching fever, typhoid, pneumonia, gastroenteritis etc., we are sending medical

essentials such as antibiotics, saline and cannula besides nutritional supplements.”

“Relief efforts in Chennai are in full swing and medical facilities are better, Cuddalore

and its surroundings have been even more  badly affected as compared to  Chennai and

does not have such advanced medical amenities. The supplies contributed by Pranaam

Children’s Foundation will be packed in special water-proof containers and despatched

to Cuddalore” concluded Dr Prasad.
