13-month-old dies. World’s costliest injection not enough!
Vedika Shinde received the world's most expensive injection, at Rs 16 crore, a month and a half ago to help her recover from her crippling condition. "Vedika's health improved significantly after she had the injection last month. She couldn't support her head and was usually bedridden before the injection, but she was able to move thereafter "Shindee remarked.
Last month, they also celebrated her birthday. "The doctors advised to be extremely cautious for the following three months, after which her condition will significantly improve,” Shinde added.
When Vedika Shinde was four months old, she couldn't hold her neck. Doctors classified it as a rare hereditary disease that would cause her body muscles to degenerate. They suggested Zolgensma, which is considered to be the world's most costly medication, with a price tag of Rs 17 crore. A total of Rs 16 crore was raised through various channels. In the Lok Sabha, mp Amol Kolhe urged the government to eliminate import duties on the injection, which is available in the United States. Actor john abraham has also made a contribution request.
