Help baby Pranavi battle blood cancer

Two-and-half-year-old Pranavi, daughter of Jagadish and Nisha Latha couple at Mannagudde, Mangaluru, who supposed to be active and playing in and around her home, is now seeing the four walls of hospital on regular basis.
 
She was diagnosed with blood cancer three months and has been under treatment since then in KMC, Mangaluru. When she was not able to walk at her early stages, her parents got her checked up by doctor. Although initially she was under medication for walking problem, then she was taken to KMC Paediatric haematologist, Dr.Harsha Prasada for further checkup, wherein she was diagnosed with blood cancer. 
 
It’s been more than two months. Doctor advised that it is curable, but she has to undergo three-year-long treatment, which would cost total about Rs 8 lakhs. Her parents had already spent around Rs 5 lakhs with much difficulties. Now they became empty-handed without having any source of revenue for the baby's further medical treatment.
 
They hardly hope for the medical condition of the baby with their present financial condition. So, the parents kindly request for the financial help from big-hearted and philanthropists in order to save the life of the baby. 
 
"What you earned for yourself dies with you; but what you give for others will remain immortal"-is the saying that would definitely yield value when we extend our helping hands to those who are in need.

Bengaluru, Aug 7: Amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases in Karnataka, the state's health department issued fresh guidelines for the disposal of bodies of COVID patients.

"Although an increased risk of COVID infection from a dead body to health workers or family members who follow standard precautions while handling the body is unlikely, the lack of scientific data requires the utmost care to avoid the inadvertent spread of COVID-19 during these times," the statement from the health department's press release read, emphasising on the dignity of the dead and the religious and cultural tradition.

The 23-page press release elaborated on guidelines regarding testing, handling of dead bodies and other specificities in relation to the management of COVID-19 bodies.

"Testing should not be insisted in every case of death, but only when they have a recorded history of influenza-like symptoms. The body should be handed over to the family members/ relatives in a dignified manner immediately after swab collection and hospitals should provide handouts with a list of dos and don'ts in English and Kannada laying down relevant information," the statement said.

It added, "At the mortuary, health care workers, mortuary staff and the family of the deceased body shall not come in direct contact with the dead body and must wear full personal protective equipment (PPE). If the family or relative are for any reason unable to cremate or bury the body, the local health authority shall arrange for the dignified last rites as per the religious traditions of the family."

Regarding autopsies (post mortem) on COVID-19 bodies, the state department said that they should be avoided, except in necessary circumstances.

The statement also gave detailed guidelines regarding the appropriate recording of COVID-19 deaths in line with the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines.

Additionally, the health department made a statement about the admission procedure for COVID positive patients referred by other district administrations saying, "It is now mandatory for all the referrals from the BBMP admission and discharge of COVID positive patients to be done through the online COVID Hospital Bed Management System (CHBMS)."

The state's count of coronavirus cases was 1,51,449 in the past 24 hours.

So far, a total of 2,804 people have died due to COVID-19 in the state, while the average recovery rate in Karnataka is 49.3 per cent.
