Approach while helping any operation - My experience and suggestion

Approach for any operation lacking financial funds

Few of my friends thought, it would be useful if i post the knowledge on hospitals and financial adjustments for operations i gained so far. Alright here are they -

Hospitals you can approach -

Most of the institutions take care of heart surgery - If any kid is suffering from heart problems, they can contact Sri Sathya Sai Hospitals for free treatment, Find the address and email below -

Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences
(A Unit of Sri Sathya Sai Medical Trust)
EPIP Area, Whitefield,
Bangalore-560 066
INDIA

Email: adminblr@sssihms.org.in
Tel: +91 80 28411500
Fax: +91 80 28411502

This hospital is always crowded and it is tough for you to get appointment, this free treatment requires lot of efforts. You may call them or you may email them with latest reports to get some information before you go. All they will say is to come there, but stress on availability because you cannot go all the way to bangalore and hear somethink like "It will take some time to get your turn". Now if you cannot get a bed at Sathya Sai, direct towards Narayana Hrudayalaya, here is the address -

Narayana Hrudayalaya,
No. 258/A,
Bommasandra Industrial Area,
Anekal Taluk,
Bangalore – 560 099.
Mail: hrudayalaya@sify.com or devishetty@hrudayalaya.com .

Narayana Hrudayalaya is one of the best hospitals in India and a kind hearted heart hospital too. All you need to do is carry a letter from your surpunch (head of the village in some authenticated letter pad) or from your office or any minimum thing you can get to convince them on your financial inability. You can certainly expect atleast 50% of discount from this hospital.

I am not sure about other hospitals, but you may try this trick any where (By trick, i hope i am not sending any wrong signals).

Sources of Money:

Many of these apply for people living in Andhra and very few may be general -

-> Bring your position to the notice of any news editor so that this information is published in some news paper, wait for 20 days to get some positive signs from donors. Sticking the notice at internet centers will also be a good option. If not funds, get some moral support and contacts who might help you in one or other way.

-> If you are a white card holder in Andhra, get arogya sree card with all the information. You can visit near by Govt hospital and ask them to refer to some good hospital and good doctor (if they know). Once they refer you to any hospital in Hyderabad (Not necessarily Hyderabad, opt it only if you have no choice at district head quarters), Try to get some reference in Hospital through the media reporter in your place or any other resource (this becomes very much necessary because its not easy to get treatment through arogyasree). If you don't get arogya sree in time, do not hesitate to get the attention of hospitals using your ration card. get a letter of authentication from MRO or Collector.

-> If you are not a white card holder, still you require money. Reach out CM camp office with a petition requesting some donation. Reach out opposition party office with a petition to fund them.

The efforts you put will never go waste in maximum cases. Put a comment here, if you need my help as well :-).

To all others, form a group in your community to collect some money when ever you come across any such cases in news papers.If you have a group of 10, you can collect Rs 1000 easily to donate. So when ever you come across such incident, spread it and try to gather some funds.

I will keep it updated with all latest information. Please put a comment, if you want me to add something.

E-governance fraud

I have some where seen it on a website, but now it is missing. It is about introduction of C1 India into Indian market with the help of PWC.

Notification was like NISG wanted a company with ISO certification. NISG has asked for a non-existent ISO certification to avoid other firms from bidding

Like wise, there are countless and i am stopping here..I wanted to show how corruption happens at corporate level..

E-Corruption is the shadow of E-governance
