About Iqra
Iqra Banu is a 11-year old girl who comes from a middle-class family in Tumkuru, Karnataka. Her father is a butcher and mother is a home-maker. Iqra is the first child to her parents and has a younger sister. She is studying in 6th Std and has currently discontinued from school due to her diagnosis. A once enthusiastic and loving child in the family, has now become very reserved, because of the pain she has been silently suffering.
The journey over the last few months hasn’t been easy on the parents either, as they witness their daughter close of from the world. They have been a pillar of support day-in and day-out for Iqra and are doing everything in their power to make sure she gets better.
Medical Details
Iqra had a persistent fever that despite after having antibiotics didn’t subside. The family took her to a clinician, who further referred them to HCG Hospital, Bengaluru. At HCG, they consulted with Dr. Intezar Mehdi, who after conducting thorough evaluations diagnosed her with ‘T-CELL (ALL), Acute-Lymphoblastic-Leukemia’ (Blood Cancer).
After educating the family about her condition and explaining the procedures involved for treatment, Iqra was placed under the care and supervision Dr.Intezar and his team. She was put under supportive care and the initial treatment being Induction Chemotherapy.
Financial Details
The family have spent close to INR 9,80,080 /- for her treatment so far, which includes the chemotherapy and supportive care. They have exhausted all their resources and are currently being supported by HCG Foundation.
