Revanth Sanctions Rs 75 Lakhs For Baby's Spinal Atrophy Treatment

Aryansh, son of Kasula Kiran and Kasula Naveena, requires a life-saving injection that costs Rs.1.5 crore to treat his SMA condition.

Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Friday assured financial assistance of Rs 75 lakh from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund (CMRF), for the treatment of one-year-old Aryansh from Telangana, who is battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2.

“We will ensure the best treatment for Baby Aryansh. The CMO officer handling CMRF will contact the parents immediately,” the Chief Minister said, responding to an appeal for urgent financial aid by the parents Kasula Kiran and Kasula Naveena on the X platform. "Let us all pray and hope for his total recovery, and wish him a good, healthy, long life," the CM replied.

The child requires a life-saving injection that costs Rs 1.5 crore. His parents, along with influencer Naveen Ramsing, have been campaigning for funds and have so far raised around Rs 75 lakh through public donations. Another Rs 75 lakh is urgently needed to secure the treatment. Hospital administration said that the injection slot must be booked before June 20, and the treatment has to be administered before the end of July, prompting the parents to seek the support of the Telangana Chief Minister, Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha, and other possible channels, for the boy to get a second lease of life.
