Sharing the details Medical Director Dr.Srinidhi T at Ankura Hospitals, LB Nagar said “ when Afeefa Maryum a 2 ½ years old girl, was admitted to our hospital she had a Chronic nonhealing wound with intermittent bleeding and  Severe anemia with malnutrition.  She was apparently asymptomatic till 1 year back when hot oil accidentally fell over her left tempers – parietal region, left hand, nape of the neck, and upper back of the trunk. She was immediately taken to a local hospital where collagen was applied (the main structural protein found in skin and other connective tissues, widely used in purified form for cosmetic surgical treatments) and was discharged within a week. Post-discharge, the child developed scalds over the left side of the scalp area and was again admitted to the same hospital when collagen was applied over the left side scalp & nape of the neck, for the 2^nd time. The child didn’t receive sufficient diet & nutrients leading to malnourishment.

The parents of the child were distraught seeing their girl’s condition but had no money for further treatment. When they contacted Sood Charity Foundation for help with the treatment, actor Sonu Sood recommended Ankura Hospital For Women & Children. When the child was admitted to Ankura for further evaluation & management, the situation was critical and challenging due to the low weight and given her medical conditions.
