Thanks to you Novartis called me up! When I was running out of medicine, I did not know what to do, how to get the attention of people who could help me out. No one was giving me any answers. I started this petition and support started pouring in from all of you! I got some media attention and then I got a phone call from Novartis. Novartis has told me that they will be sending me some stock of medicine to cover my needs. After that I got another call from them and they told me that a fresh supply of medicine has been sent to the Bangalore and Delhi depots and that within a couple of weeks all stocks will be normalised. This happened because of your support! You have no idea how much this means to me and other Thalassemia patients. We are feeling so much more at ease now. I also feel strong enough to take this battle forward. With your help I am going to focus on making sure we never face another situation like this. I'm going to ask the Government to make sure that we never face another shortage. Please leave a comment below this update tagging Health Minister JP Nadda. If you type @JPNadda - his verified Facebook profile will show up, choose it and leave a comment asking him to make sure Thalassemia medicine is easily available. Thank you once again for your support! This would not have happened without you. Dr Namitha Kumar
