Hyderabad: CM Prajavani helped a newborn with a critical congenital heart condition undergo a life-saving surgery after the Telangana Government sanctioned ₹8 lakh towards treatment costs.
Baby Gracy, daughter of K. Anjaneyulu, a daily wage worker from LB Nagar in Hyderabad, was diagnosed with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) shortly after birth. Doctors admitted the infant to a hospital for treatment.
The family later consulted another corporate hospital to understand treatment options. After conducting detailed examinations, doctors informed them that the corrective surgery would involve significant expenses.
Unable to afford the treatment, Anjaneyulu approached the CM Prajavani programme seeking financial assistance.

The team promptly took up the matter with senior Health Department officials and initiated the process to secure financial assistance.
Subsequently, the government sanctioned ₹8 lakh under the scheme to cover the entire treatment cost. The support enabled doctors to perform the surgery without imposing any financial burden on the family.
Officials said coordinated efforts and timely intervention helped ensure that the infant received the urgent medical care she required.
The case highlighted the role of the CM Prajavani programme in assisting citizens facing medical emergencies and financial hardship.
