Where miracles happenJagruti Solanki, a young girl of 16 years hails from Manej village of Anand district. She had severe chest pain and not feeling good. So, her parents took her to the emergency centre of our hospital. When she came to hospital her condition was very critical. The doctors after detailed investigation diagnosed this case as a case of severe TB in lungs (Laparotomy, Resection Anastomosis with Peritonitis") and which required treatment of Surgery, Surgical ICU stay, Higher Antibiotic and Supportive care.

Her father Shri Rameshbhai, is a daily farm wager and earns Rs.3000/- per month. There are six members in the family of whom only one member is earning but it is not enough the fulfill the daily needs of the family. They do not have any other source of income. We, at the hospital have taken up the responsibility for treating her at highly subsidized rate. The precious life of a young girl could be saved through the donations received from the Tata Trusts.

She was in the hospital for a long time for the recovery. She is now leading a normal and happy life thanks to the generous support received from the TATA Trusts. Her smile gives us courage and hope.

I am happy to see that my donation is being utilized for needy patients. I would like to thank the Charutar Arogya Mandal for making this happen. Every individual, who is financially well-off, should help the underprivileged and less fortunate people in our society.

A six-day-old baby boy Hasmukh, son of Dhanabhai Vaghela, from Nadiad has got a new lease of life. Hasmukh had blue lips and nails and could not feed properly when he was brought to the hospital. The rare surgery - known as Damus Kaye Stansel procedure- was performed recently free of cost under the state government-sponsored MAA Yojana since he came from a BPL family.

Doctors at Bhanubhai and Madhuben Patel Cardiac Centre of Shree Krishna Hospital successfully treated the infant. His examination revealed that the positions of the two great arteries from his heart were reversed. He also had a hole in his heart and a very rare coronary pattern in which the coronary artery supplying the left side of the heart muscle was passing between the two greater arteries.

" We decided to follow a procedure known as Damus Kaye Stansel " Said Dr. Zeena Makhija. who led the team of doctors who performed this rare surgery.

In this procedure the two great arteries are joined together to create good flow to the whole body. The arteries carrying the blood to the lungs were brought in front of this new vessel created. Another great vein was joined to carry the blood from the head and the upper body parts to the lungs for purification or oxygenation.

Key Highlights

Alpesh Parmar is a 15 year old, diagnosed with a case of lung infection & TB with sepsis which requires ICU stay, higher antibiotics , investigations like CT-Scan and MRI etc. Presently he is admitted in the Paediatric ICU with a good chance of recovery and is responding well to the treatment.
