His treatment costs were support in part by Aster Sick Kids Foundation
Brahdmadath
An alveolar cleft is a defect of the upper gum line. This causes teeth to sink into the defect and causes distortion of facial features.
10-year-old Brahdmadath was born with cleft of his lip, palate and alveolar process. The former two defects were corrected when he was younger. He was brought to Aster Medcity for treatment of the third. The child underwent a successful bone grafting by our Maxillo-facial team here. A piece of bone from the child’s hip was removed and used to close the defect.
Brahdmadath’s father, a mechanic was supported by Aster Sick Kids Foundation to cover his son’s treatment costs.
Ayisha
Nine year old girl Ayisha suffers from Systemic Mastocytosis. Mast cells reside in the blood and other tissues and help the body defend against invading bacteria and other organisms. In this disease Mast cells increase uncontrollably in number. She was admitted in Aster Medcity and evaluated by our Haemato-oncology department.
The family of four reside in a small house in 4 cents of land at interior Aluva. Her father, a salesman was supported financially by Aster Sick Kids Foundation to help fund Ayisha’s treatment.
Minha
Normally, the urinary and genital openings are separate in females. In rare cases a birth defect causes them to become one. This is known as urogenital sinus.
4-year-old Minha was born with this defect. The child underwent repair of this defect. She also suffers from neurogenic bladder. To help with this a tube has been directly placed into her bladder through a skin incision which helps her void. The family’s financial situation is grim. Her treatment costs were covered in part by Aster Sick Kids Foundation .
Sainudeen
Solitary rectal ulcer is a condition that occurs when open sores (ulcers) develop in the rectum. The rectum is a muscular tube connected to the end of your colon through which stool is passed.
Sainudeen was a victim of this disease since he was 9 months old. He was brought to Aster around 1 year of age with severe rectal bleeding. He was diagnosed to have a solitary rectal ulcer. A colon pull through operation took place and the ulcer was removed. He recovered then, but the child developed rectal bleeding for a second time. This time he was two years old.
He was found to have a rectal prolapse now. A colostomy, procedure to attach his colon (lower food pipe) to the skin of his abdomen was done. This would help Sainudeen pass stools into a plastic bag attached to the colostomy site without bleeding. This would help the ulcer heal in the interim.
Sainudeen’s bleeding improved. His treatment took over 10 hospital admissions and drained over 3/4th’s of his parents earnings. Many a times he was admitted with severe bleeding and required blood transfusions to compensate for lost blood.The family of four gets their income from selling scrap.
Aster Sick Kids Foundation supported all of Sainudeen’s treatment costs at Aster Medcity in part. Sainudeen is soon recovering.
Shahama
EHPVO is a condition in which there is a block of the portal vein of liver. This vein carries all absorbed nutrients from intestines to the liver for storage and further metabolism. The most common presentation of EHPVO is vomiting blood. The Sub-aortic Membrane is excess tissue just below the aortic valve, which reduces the flow of blood to the body. Shahama, was born with both these conditions.
For the last 6 years she has been on treatment at Aster MIMS Kozhikode and later Aster Medcity, Cochin. She underwent multiple treatments to stop bleeding from her food pipe. Shahama underwent an open heat surgery for Sub aortic membrane. She underwent multiple surgeries including a shunt and removal of her spleen for treatment of EHPVO.
Shahama's family consisting of younger sibling, parents and an aged grandmother live in a small house. Her father sources income working for 250/- INR a day at a bakery. Aster Sick Kids Foundation supported Shahama's family financially at every step of her treatment.

Fawzaan
Baby Fawzaan radiates cuteness. He awes those who pass by, gets pecked at the cheek often and receives praise for his good looks. However, little Fawzaan was born with a cleft lip. He required a corrective surgery.

The child required a very long hospital stay for recovery. The father who drives a Rickshaw supports his family of five off of a 5 cent property in interior Thrissur.
His treatment costs were support in part by Aster Sick Kids Foundation
Brahdmadath
An alveolar cleft is a defect of the upper gum line. This causes teeth to sink into the defect and causes distortion of facial features.
10-year-old Brahdmadath was born with cleft of his lip, palate and alveolar process. The former two defects were corrected when he was younger. He was brought to Aster Medcity for treatment of the third. The child underwent a successful bone grafting by our Maxillo-facial team here. A piece of bone from the child’s hip was removed and used to close the defect.
Brahdmadath’s father, a mechanic was supported by Aster Sick Kids Foundation to cover his son’s treatment costs.
Ayisha
Nine year old girl Ayisha suffers from Systemic Mastocytosis. Mast cells reside in the blood and other tissues and help the body defend against invading bacteria and other organisms. In this disease Mast cells increase uncontrollably in number. She was admitted in Aster Medcity and evaluated by our Haemato-oncology department.
The family of four reside in a small house in 4 cents of land at interior Aluva. Her father, a salesman was supported financially by Aster Sick Kids Foundation to help fund Ayisha’s treatment.
Minha
Normally, the urinary and genital openings are separate in females. In rare cases a birth defect causes them to become one. This is known as urogenital sinus.
4-year-old Minha was born with this defect. The child underwent repair of this defect. She also suffers from neurogenic bladder. To help with this a tube has been directly placed into her bladder through a skin incision which helps her void. The family’s financial situation is grim. Her treatment costs were covered in part by Aster Sick Kids Foundation .
Sainudeen
Solitary rectal ulcer is a condition that occurs when open sores (ulcers) develop in the rectum. The rectum is a muscular tube connected to the end of your colon through which stool is passed.
Sainudeen was a victim of this disease since he was 9 months old. He was brought to Aster around 1 year of age with severe rectal bleeding. He was diagnosed to have a solitary rectal ulcer. A colon pull through operation took place and the ulcer was removed. He recovered then, but the child developed rectal bleeding for a second time. This time he was two years old.
He was found to have a rectal prolapse now. A colostomy, procedure to attach his colon (lower food pipe) to the skin of his abdomen was done. This would help Sainudeen pass stools into a plastic bag attached to the colostomy site without bleeding. This would help the ulcer heal in the interim.
Sainudeen’s bleeding improved. His treatment took over 10 hospital admissions and drained over 3/4th’s of his parents earnings. Many a times he was admitted with severe bleeding and required blood transfusions to compensate for lost blood.The family of four gets their income from selling scrap.
Aster Sick Kids Foundation supported all of Sainudeen’s treatment costs at Aster Medcity in part. Sainudeen is soon recovering.
Shahama
EHPVO is a condition in which there is a block of the portal vein of liver. This vein carries all absorbed nutrients from intestines to the liver for storage and further metabolism. The most common presentation of EHPVO is vomiting blood. The Sub-aortic Membrane is excess tissue just below the aortic valve, which reduces the flow of blood to the body. Shahama, was born with both these conditions.
For the last 6 years she has been on treatment at Aster MIMS Kozhikode and later Aster Medcity, Cochin. She underwent multiple treatments to stop bleeding from her food pipe. Shahama underwent an open heat surgery for Sub aortic membrane. She underwent multiple surgeries including a shunt and removal of her spleen for treatment of EHPVO.
Shahama's family consisting of younger sibling, parents and an aged grandmother live in a small house. Her father sources income working for 250/- INR a day at a bakery. Aster Sick Kids Foundation supported Shahama's family financially at every step of her treatment.

Fawzaan
Baby Fawzaan radiates cuteness. He awes those who pass by, gets pecked at the cheek often and receives praise for his good looks. However, little Fawzaan was born with a cleft lip. He required a corrective surgery.
His father an auto driver found it difficult to fund the child's surgery. Plastic surgery services at Aster Medcity supported by Aster Sick Kids Foundation corrected his cleft lip.
Fawzaan's cuteness is now even more radiant. Who knows he might aspire to be on the silver screen one day.
Kanisha Kavin

This leads to changes in a child's nervous system that can include confusion, changes in alertness, and seizures. 5-year-old Kanisha Kavin, was admitted at Aster Medcity with a severe form of encephalitis. She required a long stay at our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Kanisha's father was supported financially by Aster Sick Kids Foundation to help with her treatments costs.
