Person to Person – You Bridge the Gap

CAN you help? My wife has cancer, but I have no money. Bhani* had severe pain in her stomach and she was bleeding from time to time. Her worried husband brought her to a nearby hospital in West Bengal where he was advised to take her straight to CMC Vellore.He was a compounder but had lost his job during the lockdown. The couple leased their land, borrowed money and travelled to Vellore. They had high hopes for healing ... until they heard the diagnosis: She had Cancer! <blockquote>“This is a big disease!” he said, “I had just enough money to treat a small issue and go back home”. </blockquote>Bhani looked frail and weak. Her husband told the doctors that he would take her home, where she could pass away in peace with her children around her. He had given up on life.This is just one story. Everyday we see hundreds of distressed families like Bhani and her husband. They travel many miles to CMC Vellore, hoping for relief. 
 We CAN Help! CMC doctors convinced the couple to stay. "Bhani is only 37, and has a life to live! The cancer is treatable. She can beat it!" Her husband agreed when they promised to help.CMC's charity grants covered a huge part of the treatment and medicine costs for Bhani. We want all our patients have the treatment they need. No one should have to go away because they do not have money.-------------------------------------------------------------------- This is our dream! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 You too CAN help!! Bhani's treatment was made possible thanks to friends who give to help our patients. She has been in Vellore for three months to complete her course of advanced radiotherapy. Though she looks a little weak, Bhani is responding well to the treatment. The couple hopes to go back to their hometown soon to see their son and daughter.  <blockquote>We believe that everyone has the right to quality care. Help us bridge the gap for those who can't afford it. </blockquote> Together we CAN beat cancer! Donate today to give hope and healing to people like Bhani. Any gift goes a long way, no gift is too small!

Cancer Care Relief Fund

Everyday more than a thousand patients arrive at CMC desperately seeking medical help but unable to pay for it. Our Founder, Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder, started work in Vellore in 1900. 120 years later, her one-bed clinic has grown into a medical college with hospitals on seven campuses. She taught us to care for anyone who knocks at our door. We try to welcome anyone in need, even if they can't afford to pay for their treatment. 
 Our patients come from all over India. Most of them are financially challenged after spending their life's savings on travel and accommodation to stay Vellore. To help patients like them, CMC’s hospital free bed scheme treats disadvantaged patients free of cost. Everything is covered: bed, nursing, doctor’s fee, lab tests, operation charges and medicines. 
 In December 1922, Dr. Ida Scudder needed funds to build the Women's Medical College in Vellor. Her team that supported her in the US, launched ‘Dollar Day’, asking 1 million people to give $1 to build CMC! Thousands of students, housewives and ordinary people contributed to ‘Dollar Day’. They raised half their target by what we now call crowd funding. The rest was kindly given by an eighty-year-old lady, Ms. Ellen Scripps, and the Rockefeller Foundation. In 2020, CMC marks 120 years of healing. 120 years of caring for those who can’t afford good healthcare. But we need your help. Just like the Dollar Day, we are asking our friends and well-wishers to give something, however small, towards the CMC2020 campaign. You can be a part of this campaign and make a difference for another person! Can you give Rs.200, Rs.2,000 or Rs.20,000? Every paise will go to our Hospital Free Bed Scheme, bringing hope and healing to the needy.

Elderly Care

Heart conditions, diabetes, asthma and other chronic diseases are most common amongst the elderly. Studies show that more than one in ten Indians over the age of 50 have diabetes. Often people living with these diseases must take regular medicines over a long period of time. These drugs can be essential for their health and long term well-being. Stopping taking your diabetes medicine increases the risk of stroke, and damage your eyes, heart and kidneys. It can end up in the amputation of a foot because of bad circulation. But the cost of medicines is a big drain on their income. When people living on the margins don't have enough money to eat properly the first expense they can save on is their medicines. 
 We want to provide economically disadvantaged patients with chronic diseases up to Rs.500 per month for essential medicines prescribed by our doctors. Target group will a) have a very low family income (reported as below Rs.5,000 per individual per month), b) need regular medications. Priority will be given to the elderly and those with disabilities. We will not give them the cash, but provide it as a credit at the hospital pharmacy. The patients will bring their prescriptions to the Public Relations Officer, who will a) assess their economic need, b) scrutinise the prescription and c) arrange for the credit at the Pharmacy against their hospital number. Most of these people will need this assistance on a regular basis. This scheme can be operated at minimal cost to the hospital, if the cost of the medicines can be funded. Expected number of beneficiaries 800 to 900 each month. 
 This scheme will remove one of the key reasons why people don't take important medicines, as instructed by their doctors. Amongst this group of vulnerable individuals, this will reduce the chance of preventable crises such as sugar levels out of control, dangerously high blood pressure, severe asthma attack, auto immune diseases flaring up etc. This may save lives and limbs. It should help to improve and preserve the individual's quality of life and save them money on emergency treatment.

Community & Rural Development

KV Kuppam is an village a few hours away from Vellore, where CMC's Department of RUHSA (Rural Unit for Health and Social Affairs) has been making a huge impact in the community over 40 years. One of the challenges the team at RUHSA wanted to work on was to help the elderly of the community. Most of the younger generation had migrated in search of jobs because of their poor economic status. Their parents were left alone with no one to care for them. This resulted in a rise in health and social insecurity and hence a decline in wellbeing of the elderly living there. According to 2011 census, 104 million elderly persons are living in India (53 million females and 51 million male). Research indicates that 12% of India’s population will be over the age of 60 by 2030. The burden is increasing year by year. We need to respond to this need! Starting one community at a time! 
 The objective of the program was to promote the positive ageing with comprehensive care to the elderly persons in the K.V. Kuppam Block. The team art RUHSA initiated 6 elderly daycare centres with community support in different villages. These centres are managed by local self-help group women. An interesting model was developed where the elderly also get to spend time talking and playing with play school children. The relationship here becomes mutual and is beautiful to watch!The many other activities in the centre are <ul><li>Exercise and playing traditional games, </li><li>Reading newspapers, chitchatting with the others and coloring worksheets, </li><li>Assisting with cooking - The meals made is served in the centre and is a nutritious meal. </li><li> Kitchen gardening </li><li>Daily devotions </li></ul>The elders also have access to free medical care, nutritional care, physiotherapy and occupational therapy, individual/group counseling and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment &amp; Care (CGA&amp;C). The elderly who are not part of the daycare program also have access to the healthcare benefits. 
 The elderly experience accessible, affordable better health care, improved nutritional care, increased physical flexibility, group/community involvement, increased social support, increased food sufficiency, decreased Vulnerability (weakness) and holistic care.

Positive Ageing - A day care and geriatric healthcare program

Non communicable diseases (NCDs) are adding to the disease burden (triple burden – Communicable Diseases, Non-Communicable diseases and Malnutrition) in India. The risks for life-style diseases especially diabetes, hypertension and obesity set in very early in life. The only way to change the current scenario in India is by making people aware and adopt a healthy lifestyle.  
 Promoting physical activity and healthy eating are the only way to reduce the prevent NCDs. The annual KVK RUN (K V Kuppam RUN) aims to sensitize the community about the benefits of physical activity to prevent lifestyle diseases. Encouraging participation of all age groups, RUHSA organised the first KVK Run in 2022. Local schools and young people are the groups on focus. During the run, information stalls on lifestyle disease, millet preparations, healthy food etc. are displayed for onlookers and public.  
 In 2022, 324 children, women and men, majority of them local residents, participated in 2 km walk, 5 km walk or run and 10 km run through villages of KV Kuppam block. Groups from schools and local clubs participated with great enthusiasm with a 67-year-old participant completing 10 km run and an 8-year-old completing 5 km run. The local leaders and government officials supported the program. Our hope is that this event will add to RUHSA’s efforts in promoting health and preventing diseases.

On International Women’s day, we pay tribute to our inspiring founder Dr. Ida Scudder. She dedicated her life to the women and children of South India. She broke stereotypes, graduating in the first batch of women doctors at Cornell, USA. When a medical school for Indian women seemed next to impossible, she overcame tremendous challenges and inspired young women (and later men) to serve with excellence and dedication.In 1922, Dr. Ida championed ‘Dollar Day’ asking one million people to give one dollar each to build the Women’s Medical College at Vellore. Thousands of housewives, students and ordinary people responded to her call, raising more than half-a-million dollars!Our modern version of ‘Dollar Day’ is a 60-day online campaign for Person to Person (PTP).
