Trustees of London-based charity organisation BJ Mehta Foundation, Professor Atul Mehta, Dr Kokila Mehta and Jayshree Vyas have undertaken a project to raise funds to support care and treatment of children with Type 1 Diabetes at the Ramkrishna Mission Hospital in Haridwar. The hospital currently looks after 200 children with Type 1 diabetes and the average cost, including medication, is 1,500 to 2,000 rupees per child every month. However, due to a dire lack of funds, they cannot create the impact they desire. They intend to treat over 200 children with Type 1 diabetes.
In a bid to help the needy, Mehta, who is Professor of Haematology at University College London, along with his wife and General Practitioner Dr Kokila, and close family friend, Jayshree Vyas who works in the financial sector, have decided to respond and make sure all children who approach Ramkrishna Mission Hospital, receive due treatment. Mehta is the driving force of the BJ Mehta Foundation, which was inspired by his father, a philanthropist and teacher.
Each donation will help provide medical care and the much needed treatment for children suffering with Type 1 diabetes and help prevent complications. Help them help the children lead a normal life. Those interested, please make a donation through their website : http://bjmehtafoundation.co.uk.
