Now, he has been approved for a promising clinical trial at Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, USA. While the trial itself is free, the family must cover international travel and living expenses beyond the 5 days the hospital provides. Rishaan needs to come to US every 3 months for the Ist year and every 6 months for the 2nd year in order to complete the treatment(total 6 visits) They have already spent over ₹1.1 crore on his treatment, thanks to the generosity of many.
