Sanjana Barle, a 1.5 year old child, was brought to the hospital with extensive burn injuries involving her ear, left shoulder, left cheek, chest, and upper back. Due to her young age and the sensitive areas affected, her condition was classified as critical and required immediate medical and surgical attention.
At the time of admission, Sanjana was in visible pain and discomfort. Her injuries not only posed a serious risk of infection but also threatened long term complications if not treated without delay. Given the severity of the burns and the vulnerability of a child her age, doctors recommended urgent intervention. Fundraising and the Reality on Ground .To support Sanjanas treatment, a fundraising appeal was launched on 06-12-2025, with an estimated medical cost of 5,15,000. Unfortunately, due to limited reach and response, the required amount could not be fully raised within the necessary time period.
However, Sanjanas condition did not allow for waiting.
Understanding the urgency and keeping the childs well-being as the highest priority, the decision was made to proceed with treatment without delay, irrespective of the funding gap. The medical team and Mitaan Foundation worked together to ensure that Sanjana received complete and uninterrupted care.
This decision reflects our core belief that no child should suffer or be denied treatment due to financial limitations.
Medical Treatment and Surgical Care
Sanjana underwent surgical treatment for severe burn injuries, which included comprehensive wound management and surgical intervention on all affected areas. Special care was taken due to the involvement of the ear, facial region, and upper body, which require precise and cautious handling in pediatric patients.
