SWN-036: Treatment of Areeb Alian

Areeb Alian is the son of Humayun Kabir Limon and Israt Jahan Nishi at Mohammedpur in Dhaka metropolitan area, Bangladesh. His father worked in Independent Tv. Nine months ago suddenly, the little boy Alian was admitted into Central Hospital due to  severe headache. After MRI, MRA, MRV ,MRS tests, his disease was not identified. Then Areeb's parents took him to Apollo Hospital for treatment in Chennai, India. After twice the brain stroke, the left hand and the left leg were paralyzed. The name of the disease is Anti MOG (Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein). The doctor was then treating with Steroid to little Areeb because the disease wasn't invented then. The disease was identified for the first time in Bangladesh. The doctor's advice was to treat the European country and cost around Tk 50 lakh. Areeb's family was no longer able to continue his treatment due to lack of funds. Every parent's dedicates everything for the children. But when there is nothing to support, then there is no other way then to appeal to the civil society. Areeb’s family was then seeking for financial support. Silent Hands Support team members gave Tk 83,500 to his mother as a token of support and officially announced the completion of Areeb Alian Project on 25 July, 2019.
