Programme
Medical Emergency Support
Funding urgent surgery and hospital treatment for patients from low-income families, and staying with each case through to rehabilitation.
Charagar Foundation's main programme pays for emergency medical treatment that families cannot afford. The foundation takes on the most needy and deserving cases, raises the money through a public appeal for each one, and continues to support the patient until they have recovered.
How it works
- A case is referred and the foundation checks the medical need and the family's circumstances.
- An appeal is published on charagar.org with the treatment cost and a running total of what has been raised.
- Funds go to the treatment, and the foundation follows up through surgery, recovery and rehabilitation.
Past appeals have covered surgery for an infant and treatment for a young adult with severe burns. Both appeals reached their targets.
