Five-year-old Amira, blind from birth, opened her eyes to the world of sight. When the three-year-old girl from Alappuzha Punnapra reaches the world of visual arts, the helping hand of actor Mammootty is also behind her. After hearing the news of the parents who might not find the necessary money for their daughter’s treatment, Mammootty directed his charity organization Care and Share International Foundation to take necessary steps for the child’s treatment. Another special thing is that Amira, who got her eyesight, is leaving the hospital on October 12, World Sight Day itself.
The world came to know the story of Amira, a child who was blind at birth, through the media. When the doctors in Alappuzha said that Ameer, the third daughter of the Siddique-Kavya couple, would have to go to Madurai to recover her eyesight and that a huge amount of money would be required, the condition of the parents, who had no other options, was in the news.
Wahid, a social worker in Alappuzha, forwarded the matter to Mammootty’s office. Mammootty took notice of the issue and immediately intervened. Her philanthropic organization, Care and Share International Foundation, suggested that Ameera’s treatment be transferred to a vision project implemented in collaboration with Angamaly Little Flower Hospital. Care and Share was also instructed to take care of everything necessary for further treatment.
Care and Share officials immediately contacted the hospital. Assistant Director of Ophthalmology Department Dr. Varghese Palatti coordinated the necessary steps for the treatment. The treatment proceeded under the guidance of Dr. Anita Jabbar, an expert in the children’s ophthalmology department. With the success of the eye transplant surgery, baby Amira entered the world of sight.
Meanwhile, the sight of the child’s second eye cannot be restored. Doctors say that eye infection is not properly treated in time as the cause of eye loss. By the time he reached the hospital, it was too late. But the cosmetic eye department of Little Flower Hospital is preparing to fit the child with a custom artificial eye.
The parents’ only desire now is to meet Mammootty in person and thank him for saving their child’s life. “Mammooka is the first thing she should see with her eyes full,” said her father Siddique on her daughter’s sight.
Mammootty’s Care and Share International Foundation and Little Flower Hospital have agreed to conduct 50 eye transplant surgeries free of charge on the occasion of Angamaly Little Flower Hospital Eye Bank’s Golden Jubilee. Amira’s was the first eye transplant procedure in the Sight Project.
