Beltangady, September 2: If things were intact, Baby Dithi had to celebrate her 2nd birthday. But when only a month was left for the birthday celebrations, the baby fell ill.

Although baby was treated by a local doctor, the fever did not reduce. Baby was examined by specialist doctors but only the days elapsed and all efforts were in vain. Treatment was given at A J hospital in Mangaluru. But the child did not recover. Later a Child Specialist at SDM hospital in Ujire examined the child and diagnosed that the child is suffering from liver problem and is suffering from Jaundice, and that it has increased and damaged the liver.

They took the child to four hospitals in Bengaluru. Then it was learnt about the liver failure of the child.

Baby Dithi, aged 1 year and 11 months, from Balanja village in Beltangady taluk needs to undergo liver transplantation at the earliest. Baby Dithi’s father Manohar Balanja is a news reporter while mother is employed as a nurse under contract basis.

The liver transplantation has to be done at the earliest at Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital in Bengaluru. Rs 16 lakhs has to be deposited to the hospital before admission. The baby will be kept in intensive Care Unit for a month. The parents are looking for donors for the liver transplantation. The baby has to be under treatment for six months. For all these expenses, minimum of Rs 24 lakhs is needed.

As the parents of the child come from an economically poor background, they have sought the help from donors to save their daughter.

Manohar Balanja is from agricultural background. Rs 5 lakhs was earned after raising a loan on the land. Rs 2 lakhs was obtained from the Chief Minister’s relief fund, Rs 1 lakhs donation from Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala Dr d Veerendra Hegagde.
