Cardiac surgery of ICDS kids at Govt cost - poor children got new lease of normal life

 

Roni Mete S/o Nirad Mete from Bonkati Kanksa in ICU recovery room after VSD closure done successfully at the Mission Hospital Durgapur

District administration organised surgical intervention at Govt cost for 146 ICDS children in Burdwan district, identified through health check up camps. Roni Mete aged around 4.5 years from Bonkati Kanksa was successful operated upon by Dr Satyajot Bose at The Durgapur Mission Hospital on 4th April 2013. He is now recovering fast at the hospital.

• The parents are from poor background and had applied for financial assistance for the treatment at several places. Finally the child could be treated under innovative intervention of District administration at the cost of Rs 1.20 lakhs paid by Govt.
• Today, on 5/4/13 another child Anita Hasda admitted at The Mission hospital and further Parvin Khatoon will be admitted on 8th April and on 10th April, Nandini Kisku and Sk.Niamuddin will be operated for heart surgeries. Incidentally, it's pertinent to note that these children are from backward class/ tribal/ minority background and without this intervention by Dist administration, these families could not have afforded these kind of treatment. Further the food and other arrangements of parents are being taken care of by admn. We will continue to support poor children in need of treatment.
