How do economically poor people come to MIOT Hospitals?
|
MIOT Hospitals holds periodic camps in districts and at the
hospital atleast twice a year where children can come for a
free check up. When the child is identified with heart

Why can’t I meet the family earlier?
|
As you realize that these are people who are very
traumatized with the condition of their child added to the
fact that they do not have financial support, sometimes not
even aware of the magnitude of what is happening to them. We
help them go through the process of the surgery and
recuperation of their child with comfort and keeping their
confidentiality so that they are not disturbed by too many
people meet them. |

Is there a minimum denomination for donations to CHIME?
|
CHIME welcomes any amount as donation. We have constant
donors who send a small amount of Rs.100/- for every child
whom they know is having a surgery. This also means that
they specially thought of this little one a lot of good will
goes into every contribution. |
