Navratri is a festival that celebrates and worships Maa Shakti. In a recent case, Vadodara’s Sayaji Hospital had an opportunity to provide a unique tribute to the Goddess on the very first day of Navratri. A helpless family from Ratlam had brought their 8-year-old daughter with kidney disease to the hospital.
Dr. Sheila Aiyar informed that the hospital has been awarded a very convenient medical care hemodialysis machine equipped with a portable RO plant, water tank, and booster system has been provided for the treatment of kidney patients worth Rs 10 lakh.
Giving details about the patient Dr. Sheila Iyer said that with the help of the technical team of the Institute of Kidney Diseases in Ahmedabad, the work of its establishment was still being completed, but a family from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh brought their eight-year-old daughter with kidney disease.
The girl was severely anemic, her kidneys were not working, and she needed immediate hemodialysis. The family took the girl to many hospitals but no hemodialysis facility was available for the children and then brought the little girl to Sayaji Hospital in Vadodara for treatment.
“With high hopes, they visited the city and we felt that it would be appropriate to start the hemodialysis facility (mechanical purification of blood) for newborns by treating this girl as a part of the worship of Maa Shakti, ” stated Dr. Sheila Iyer.
She said that earlier children with such needs had to be sent to Kidney Hospital in Ahmedabad, but now the Pediatric Department of Sayaji has become the first department of government hospitals in the districts of Central Gujarat to have a hemodialysis facility for pediatric kidney patients. She has thanked the company for this charity.
