Nagpur: Medical students in the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) here are trying to raise Rs30 lakh through crowdfunding for a liver transplant of a student.
According to the appeal circulated by the Maharashtra Association of resident Doctors (MARD), Aniket Motilal Zodape, currently in 2nd year MBBS (2018 batch), has been recently diagnosed with end stage liver disease and advised liver transplant at the earliest.
“He is suffering from portal hypertension with oesophageal varices with perisplenic collaterals since last 2 years. He had 1 episode of hepatic encephalopathy in the past year. Owing to his continued treatment from past few years, the family’s financial condition has taken a toll. The treatment plan is quite expensive,” reads the appeal signed by Dr Arpit Dhakate, president of MARD, and Dr Dharun Prasad, general secretary.
Aniket’s sister Shraddha is a 2015 batch student and currently working as an at the GMCH. While doctors are hoping to raise some money through their fraternity, they are also looking at donations from philanthropists and common citizens.
