Abu Dhabi Businessmen Offer To Educate Kids Of Kerala Nurse

IANS, 23 May, 2018 11:38 AM
    Two Abu Dhabi-based businessmen have come forward to support the two children of the Kerala nurse after Lini Puthussery’s heart-wrenching letter to her husband went viral.
     
     
    The letter was scribbled by Lini after she had attended to the first victim of the Nipah virus, Mohammad Sadek in Kerala.
    She died on Tuesday.
     
     
    As reported by the Khaleej Times, Santhi Pramot and Jyothi Pallat, executive directors of Avitis Institute of Medical Sciences based in Palakkad, Kerala, have pledged to sponsor the education of Lini Puthussery's two sons, aged  two and five.
     
     
    Santhi, who lives in Abu Dhabi told the Khaleej Times, "What she did is a heroic sacrifice in the line of duty. We want to take a small step to honour her devotion to the nursing profession and also support the family in their grief. We have contacted the family and informed them that their son's education till they are self-reliant is our responsibility.”
     
     
     
     
    "We are in the healthcare profession and are aware of the sacrifices and hardships of medical nurses. It was indeed a heart-breaking incident that she died while attending to her patients," Santhi added.
     
     
    The husband, Sajish, had flown down from Bahrain where he is working after being informed that his wife was unwell. "I think I am almost on my way; I don't think I'll be able to meet you. Please look after our children. Take them with you to the Gulf; don't be all alone like our father, please," the letter read.
     
     
    In her letter, Lini pleaded her husband to take care of the couples toddlers, aged two and five.
     
     
    Lini was a daily-wage employee at the EMS Memorial Cooperative Hospital at Perambra and had joined the hospital only in September last year. Three nurses from the same hospital who had attended to Nipah Virus-affected patients have contracted the illness.
     
     
    After consulting the family, authorities cremated the body in an electronic crematorium. This was done as a precautionary measure to ensure that the virus, if present, did not spread further.
     
     
    Linis children, husband and others who had been in close touch to her are under observation and their blood samples have been taken.
