Delhi University Supports Treatment Fundraising for Faculty Member's Child with Rare Disorder
The University of Delhi's Centre for Distance and Online Education (formerly School of Open Learning) is facilitating financial support for a faculty member's child diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2. Following requests from the Centre for Distance and Online Teachers' Association, a committee including AIIMS doctors reviewed the case to enable fund release for gene therapy. Crowdfunding has raised around ₹1 crore, covering only 6.25% of the estimated treatment cost, prompting institutional efforts to secure further assistance.
