The couple S.Boopathi and Jayanthi from Arisipalayam in a petition to District Collector S. Karmegham has sought assistance from Chief Minister to meet the cost of the treatment. Boopathi works with a private firm in Hyderabad and Jayanthi is a homemaker. The couple, who felt doubtful about the genetic disorder of the child, took her to a private hospital in Hyderabad.
The parents said they received the results only in the beginning of September and child has been diagnosed with SMA. “Our child Srisha has been diagnosed with SMA Type-I disease,” the couple said.
