Manju Warrier and Ambili FathimaKottayam: Actress Manju Warrier has come forward to lend a helping hand to Ambili Fathima, who is recuperating at a hospital in Chennai following a rare heart and lungs transplant.
Manju has offered the family an amount of Rs 5 lakh required for further treatment apart from bearing the expenses of the 22-year-old girl’s civil service coaching.
Heart and lung transplantation was the only way to save her life after she was diagnosed with a rare medical condition called Primary Pulmonary Hypertension.
The transplant was made possible through crowdfunding. Hundreds of people contributed to the cause when the story first appeared on Onmanorama.
After undergoing two complicated surgeries during a short span of time, Fathima, an M.Com student of CMS College, is now recovering with a new heart and lungs. She secured 85 per cent of marks in the exam which she wrote a day before heading for Chennai to undergo the surgery.
