Long-term Medical Support for Children, Tangalle, Sri Lanka - Tharindu (Completed)

Some of the challenges faced by these children and their families include the prohibitive costs associated with treatment and the stigma of their stunted growth. Professor Sujeewa, who has worked closely with Real Medicine Foundation and oversees our program, discussed the logistics of treatment and follow up and how reporting is done. Our program has provided a template to follow for others who wish to sponsor groups of children.

Tharindu's is continuing to be treated under our Long Term Medical Support Program and continuing updates are published here:
