#SaveDaivik Urgent Plea to PM Modi: Save 4-Year-Old Fighting Rare Brain Tumor – Treatment Only Available Abroad

New Delhi, January 23, 2025 – #SaveDaivik A desperate mother, Dr. Ayushi Chaudhary, an MBBS doctor, has made an emotional appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, and the Ministry of Health to save her four-year-old son, Daivik (Vedant), who is battling Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)—one of the deadliest pediatric brain tumors. With no available treatment in India, she is seeking urgent government assistance to take her son to Stanford University School of Medicine, California, USA, where a potential life-saving treatment exists.

A Mother’s Cry for Help #SaveDaivik

Despite being a doctor herself, Dr. Chaudhary stands helpless against this aggressive disease. “I have spent my life saving others, but today, I cannot even save my own child. My heart breaks every moment as his health deteriorates. This is an emergency, and every second counts,” she said in her appeal.

DIPG is an extremely rare and fatal brain tumor, primarily affecting children aged 4-11 years. It has a survival rate of less than 10% beyond two years. Due to its location in the brainstem, surgery is not an option, and conventional treatments like chemotherapy have shown no long-term success.

Stanford University’s Advanced Treatment – A Ray of Hope #SaveDaivik

Doctors worldwide acknowledge that Stanford University School of Medicine is at the forefront of DIPG research. The institution is currently leading clinical trials that offer promising results for children suffering from this terminal disease. However, time is running out, and without immediate intervention, Daivik’s chances of survival diminish rapidly.

A letter has also been addressed to Dr. Lloyd B. Minor, Dean of Stanford University School of Medicine, and Stanford University President Richard Saller, requesting urgent medical support. Dr. Chaudhary pleads for assistance in securing fast-tracked admission into Stanford’s medical program, while urging the Indian government to help facilitate visas, financial aid, and logistical support for her child’s treatment.

“Save My Child, Respected PM Sir” – A Nationwide Appeal #SaveDaivik

Senior journalist Vikas Raj Tiwari, Founder of the “Feel The Change Foundation,” has joined the humanitarian appeal, urging Prime Minister Modi and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar to take swift action. “One small step from the government can save a precious life. This is not just about one child; it is about setting a precedent for medical aid in extreme cases. Mr. Modi, please help this child reach the care he desperately needs,” said Tiwari in his official statement.

Dr. Chaudhary’s heart-wrenching plea stands as a call for collective humanity:
“A single act of help can save a life. I urge everyone – the government, the medical community, and kind-hearted individuals – to come together and help me save my son.”

Government’s Role & Call for Swift Action #SaveDaivik

The role of India’s Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Health is critical in securing an expedited visa and arranging financial assistance for Daivik’s medical treatment in the USA. If acted upon swiftly, this intervention can give a three-year-old a chance at life.

This is not just a request. This is a race against time. A child’s life is hanging by a thread – and a single decision from the authorities can be the difference between life and death.

Will India answer this mother’s call? Will the world unite to save Daivik?

⏳ Time is running out.
