Divya Marathi recently featured Happy Kids Foundation for its continued efforts in providing free Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy to children suffering from Primary Immune Deficiency (PID).

The initiative, led by Dr. Shraddha Chandak (MBBS, DCH, DNB, FIAP – Pediatric Haemato-Oncologist & Immunologist), aims to ensure that children from underprivileged families battling chronic immune disorders receive timely and uninterrupted treatment.

All therapies are being conducted under expert medical supervision at Kpond Children’s Superspeciality Hospital, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. This initiative has been instrumental in improving the immunity, recovery, and overall quality of life of affected children who require regular IVIG infusions.

The Happy Kids Foundation celebrated Grand Children’s Day with immense joy and warmth at Kpond Children’s Superspeciality Hospital, bringing smiles to the faces of young patients and their families.

The celebration saw enthusiastic participation from all the children admitted and visiting the hospital. A cheerful cake-cutting ceremony marked the highlight of the day, with doctors, nurses, staff members, and parents joining hands to make the occasion memorable.

The event reflected the Foundation’s belief that emotional care and happiness play an equally vital role in healing. It was a heartwarming reminder that even within hospital walls, moments of laughter, togetherness, and affection can go a long way in brightening a child’s recovery journey.

At Happy Kids Foundation, we remain dedicated to nurturing the health, hope, and happiness of every child — because every smile we create is a step toward healing the future.

Doctors highlight that missing scheduled IVIG doses can lead to repeated episodes of pneumonia, persistent fever, chronic infections, sepsis, and frequent hospitalizations — conditions that can severely impact a child’s development and quality of life.

The families benefitting from this initiative come from low-income households with limited access to specialized pediatric care. Since receiving the treatment, all three children have shown a reduction in recurrent infections, improved health stability, and fewer hospital visits.

Speaking about the initiative, a spokesperson from Happy Kids Foundation said,
“Early diagnosis and timely intervention can transform the lives of children with immune deficiencies. Our mission is to ensure that lifesaving treatment reaches every child in need, regardless of financial barriers.”

The initiative not only focuses on treatment but also emphasizes awareness, early diagnosis, follow-up support, and long-term health monitoring for children with rare immune disorders.

Happy Kids Foundation is currently supporting the treatment of children suffering from rare Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDs) through Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy. IVIG is a life-saving treatment that provides children with essential antibodies to fight recurring and severe infections caused by a weak immune system.

At present, four young patients with Immunodeficiency are receiving IVIG therapy at Happy Kids Foundation. Among these, two children are diagnosed with Agammaglobulinemia, a condition where the body fails to produce antibodies on its own. These children require regular monthly IVIG infusions to maintain immunity and protect against life-threatening infections.

The cost of one IVIG injection is around ₹23,000 per child per month, making it a significant financial burden for underprivileged families. For many parents in rural and semi-urban Marathwada, such expenses are nearly impossible to manage without external support. By providing access to IVIG treatment, Happy Kids Foundation is helping ensure that children suffering from immunodeficiency disorders are not deprived of essential care due to financial limitations.

While the therapy does not cure conditions like Agammaglobulinemia, it plays a vital role in improving quality of life, preventing recurrent infections, and reducing hospitalizations. IVIG treatment, combined with specialist pediatric immunology care, counseling, and long-term monitoring, gives these children a chance to live healthier and more active lives.

Happy Kids Foundation continues to work towards its mission of making pediatric cancer, hematology, immunology, and orthopedic care accessible to underprivileged children. By offering treatment assistance, financial support, and rehabilitation services, the foundation ensures that families in need do not have to travel to distant metro cities like Mumbai or Pune to access advanced pediatric care.
