Under the Rastriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK), the district administration here sent a 7.7 month critical baby to Kolkta where he was successfully operated for an open heart surgery at RTIICS, Kolkata.
To the good luck of the child, the opration, though risky, was a successful one. After getting discharged from hospital, the child reached Sambalpur on Sunday.
At the initial stage, the parents of the child patient were very much disappointed and panicked as many renowned hospitals and doctors refused to treat him narrating it to be a critical case.
But they came to District Early Intervention Centre (DEIC) of the district head quarters hospital at Sambalpur through Dhama PHC. Under the guidance of State RBSK unit at Sambalpur, CDM&PHO and ADPHO (FW), the case was referred to Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences (RTIICS) Kolkata.
"The child along with his parents have returned home with smiling faces which is really a great achievement of the RBSK programme of Sambalpur unit," the district administration and Health Department of the district informed.
