Malti Tudu

The young girl, Malti Tudu, and her younger sibling Michael, were the most moving slide show of just how hard it is to get medical help in the interiors of Jharkhand. Since NDTV reported on their case, the family has been swamped with offers of help, gratefully accepted.

Navigating treacherous terrain, an 11-year-old girl trekked eight kilometres with her younger brother hoisted on her shoulders to the nearest hospital from her village in Jharkhand's Godda district on Monday. Doctors say the girl Malti Tudu's brave effort have saved six-year-old Michael's life.
