Doctor Funds Emergency Transport for Pregnant Tribal Woman
Kumaram Saraswati is a pregnant tribal woman who became seriously ill because she had very low haemoglobin.
Doctors also found that her baby was not growing as expected.
They said she needed care at a better-equipped hospital.
Saraswati was referred to hospitals in several places before being sent to Warangal.
Her family could not afford the trip.
Dr. Uday Kiran used his own vehicle and money to help take her there.
An ANM and an ASHA worker travelled with her.
She reached CKM Maternal and Child Health Hospital for more treatment and delivery care.
Kumaram Saraswati, a pregnant tribal woman, had severe anaemia and fetal growth restriction.
Her haemoglobin level was reported at just 6 grams, prompting doctors to recommend immediate higher-level treatment.

Because her impoverished family could not afford the journey, Dr. Uday Kiran paid for transportation using his personal vehicle.
