Poor patient's fund.

Sanibai was rushed in to the OPD with a history of leaking PV with six months of Amenorrhoea.They had been reffered to Seoni by the government hospital in Lakhnadon. In dire strait of emergency they had thought of the mission as a last resort.She was losing a lot of fluid PV but the foetus was recording a strong heart beat.We resorted to treat her conservatively and wait. They already had three children and the husband, a stammering gentleman was acutely concerned about his wife’s health and kept insisting we abort the baby.We were treating her with antibiotics and hoping somehow the leak would seal off. They have an acre of land in the village where they earn around ten thousand rupees annually so to supplement for it they work as migrant labourers in the towns where they earn around r7upees 150 per day but in the village they only earn Rs 100 per day. We were in a real delimna.We sent the patient for an ultrasound and the ultrasound showed a viable foetus of 1.5 Kgs.H
