Mdm. Vallan is a devoted full-time housewife who has been battling renal failure for an extended period. Due to her condition, she is dependent on long-term dialysis to survive, a process she must undergo regularly to filter toxins from her body. Unfortunately, this treatment comes with its own set of challenges and complications.
Mdm. Vallan lives with her mother and sister, both of whom are persons with disabilities (OKU), in a rented DBKL house in Kuala Lumpur. Being the primary caregiver for her family, Mdm. Vallan life revolves around ensuring her loved ones well-being while managing her own health struggles. The weight of this responsibility, combined with her own health challenges, has made it increasingly difficult for her to manage both her medical needs and her family’s care on her own.
Over time, the prolonged use of dialysis led to complications with Mdm. Vallan’s vascular access, which is crucial for the dialysis process. Her vascular access became problematic, requiring a Permcath procedure—a critical surgical intervention to create a safe and effective route for dialysis. This procedure is necessary to ensure proper dialysis and prevent further complications, but it also comes with significant risks and costs.
Thankfully, with the support of the CVSKL Foundation, Mdm. Vallan was able to undergo the Permcath surgery safely and continue her dialysis treatments without further disruption. This intervention has been pivotal in ensuring that she can continue receiving life-sustaining treatment, despite the ongoing challenges she faces.
Mdm. Vallan’s story is a testament to the resilience of individuals living with chronic illness, as well as the profound impact that community support can have in improving the lives of those in need. The CVSKL Foundation remains committed to providing assistance to individuals like Mdm. Vallan, who struggle with the financial and physical burdens of chronic illness, enabling them to receive the care they need and continue their journey toward better health.
