Suresh Gopi stated that the main objective was to provide the family with a peaceful living situation. He emphasized that the actions taken were aimed at achieving this goal. He also mentioned that efforts were made to consult with medical professionals about treatment. The most difficult challenge is finding a bone marrow donor, and there are instances where donors need to be compensated financially.

The Union Minister communicated with Dr. Vikram Mathews from Vellore regarding the child’s treatment. Dr. Mathews recommended a bone marrow transplant as the necessary course of action.

Suresh Gopi mentioned to the media that things could proceed quickly once a donor is found and expressed hope that someone from the family will come forward. Dr. Vikram Mathews stated that once the donor and the child meet in person, the remaining arrangements can be finalized. He also assured that all necessary arrangements for the child's treatment in Vellore will be made.
