The thin line between life and death is one which is very often dictated by the availability of resources. Dealing with life-threatening illnesses and medical situations in children is a harrowing and daunting experience for any parent. Out-of-pocket expenditure and the inability to pay for treatment add to their existing woes, thereby adding to their distress.

‘Save A Child’ program works to reach out to and provide immediate medical support to any marginalized child in need.

Our team works round the clock to ensure that every child who is referred to us is treated in a caring and respectful environment.
