A cancer-stricken woman’s dying wish to meet her two children in India was fulfilled by a Singapore medical team that pulled out all the stops and arranged her travel from a hospital here to Tiruchirappalli at the height of the pandemic, according to a media report on Monday.

Ramamoorthy Rajeswari, a Singapore permanent resident suffering from throat cancer, wanted to meet her two children — aged 12 and nine — who were dispatched to their home near Tiruchirappalli in January 2019 to be taken care by their relatives after her cancer progressed, Channel News Asia reported.

On June 27, 2020, about two weeks after the couple arrived in India, Rajeswari died. She was 44.
