13-month-old dies. World’s costliest injection not enough!
Vedika Sourabh Shinde, a 13-month-old baby girl, died in Mumbai's Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital on sunday evening. "She was being her lively self last evening when she had a respiratory problem," her father said. They took her to Dinanath Mangeshkar Hospital after her condition was stabilised at Bhosari Hospital. She was put on a ventilator right away. Doctors tried all they could to save her life, but they couldn't, he claimed. Vedika's illness, which was caused by a rare ailment, drew international sympathy.
Vedika Shinde received the world's most expensive injection, at Rs 16 crore, a month and a half ago to help her recover from her crippling condition. "Vedika's health improved significantly after she had the injection last month. She couldn't support her head and was usually bedridden before the injection, but she was able to move thereafter "Shindee remarked.
Last month, they also celebrated her birthday. "The doctors advised to be extremely cautious for the following three months, after which her condition will significantly improve,” Shinde added.
When Vedika Shinde was four months old, she couldn't hold her neck. Doctors classified it as a rare hereditary disease that would cause her body muscles to degenerate. They suggested Zolgensma, which is considered to be the world's most costly medication, with a price tag of Rs 17 crore. A total of Rs 16 crore was raised through various channels. In the Lok Sabha, mp Amol Kolhe urged the government to eliminate import duties on the injection, which is available in the United States. Actor john abraham has also made a contribution request.
