The RKM Hospital in Haridwar currently has funds to care for 200 children with Type 1 Diabetes. There is a need to expand this program to enable them to look after more children. We need your help to achieve this. Charitable donations would allow substantial expansion of the program. Each child needs 20 to 30 units of insulin per day which costs up to Rs. 2000 per month per child. Our aim is to provide Insulin for these needy children and to provide extra nursing staff to support and educate the children and their families. A donation of £1000 will allow treatment of one child for three years. RKM will then approach funding agencies for their ongoing care. Please give generously In March 2019 a program of lectures, demonstrations and a free advisory camps will be held at the Hospital. Our aim is to support the treatment of children needing insulin therapy.
