OUR ROLE
How Does CLC Help Kids Get Liver Transplants?
CLC works to raise funds for children from less fortunate backgrounds that need liver transplants by approaching donors
Nanavati Max Hospital shares with us the child’s legal clearances for a liver transplant and the funding status. Usually our task is to raise the shortfall which is about 15%
CLC ensures 100% transfer of all funds to the child’s hospital account along with supporting details on how funds were utilized
