Manava Vatsalya Foundation — COVID-19 Lockdown Support Services (2020)
During the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide lockdown, Manava Vatsalya Foundation stood by families and patients in distress — negotiating hospital bills, arranging admissions, providing financial aid, and even performing dignified last rites when others refused. Below are seven acts of service from 2020.

1️⃣Hospital Bill Negotiation — Mrs. Vanga Sulochana
When Mrs. Vanga Sulochana faced an unaffordable hospital bill, Manava Vatsalya Foundation stepped in and negotiated directly with the Hospital Management, securing a reduction of ₹10,000 in her bill amount.
Impact: ₹10,000 bill reduction.

2️⃣ Emergency Admission — Mr. Raghupati (NSCI)
When Mr. Raghupati needed urgent medical attention, our team personally guided him through the process and ensured his admission at NSCI. We also provided him with fresh fruits for a couple of days during his stay, offering both practical and moral support.
Impact: Admission secured and daily support provided.

3️⃣ COVID Patient Admission — Mr. Ajay Sangaveni
At the peak of the pandemic, when hospitals were overwhelmed, our team personally visited the hospital to admit Mr. Ajay Sangaveni, a COVID-positive patient. We followed up continuously with the hospital management to ensure he received proper care.
Impact: Life-saving admission facilitated.

4️⃣ Financial Assistance — Ms. Brahmini Baddepuri
Ms. Brahmini Baddepuri required urgent medical treatment that her family could not afford. Manava Vatsalya Foundation provided ₹1,10,000 in direct financial assistance. We also referred our friends and well-wishers to help reduce her remaining bill of approximately ₹3 lakhs.
Impact: ₹1,10,000 financial help + referrals for ₹3 lakhs in bill relief.

5️⃣ Financial Assistance — Nageshwar Rao (Tata Hospital)
When Nageshwar Rao was undergoing treatment at Tata Hospital, Manava Vatsalya Foundation provided ₹10,000 in financial assistance. Our team also personally accompanied him throughout his treatment, ensuring he was never alone during his difficult journey.
Impact: ₹10,000 financial help + personal accompaniment during treatment.

6️⃣ Hospital Bill Negotiation — Mr. & Mrs. Saraswati Batthula
For Mr. and Mrs. Saraswati Batthula, our team negotiated with the hospital management and successfully reduced their bill amount by ₹60,850 — providing significant relief to the family during an already stressful time.
Impact: ₹60,850 bill reduction.

7️⃣ Dignified Last Rites — Mrs. Laxmi Narang
When a COVID-positive woman, Mrs. Laxmi Narang, passed away, Manava Vatsalya Foundation ensured she received respectful last rites with dignity — at a time when fear of infection had left many families unable to perform this final duty.
Impact: Dignity and compassion in a time of crisis.
