Recently, Dr. Kalpesh Gadhvi, of Jarod Community Health Center, successfully treated a woman and a young girl who were in critical condition, with timely diagnosis and emergency surgeries with the help of an advanced sonography machine obtained under CSR. With the help of a state-of-the-art sonography machine, successful treatment of these cases became possible in a small town like Jarod, and in a government hospital. Additional Chief District Health Officer Dr. Uday Tilawat has commended Dr. Gadhvi and fellow health workers for this success and dedication.
In the first case, a sonography examination of a 40-year-old woman from Indral village revealed that the uterus was in an inflamed condition and had a life-threatening tumor (fibroid). Based on the accurate diagnosis made by sonography, Dr. Gadhvi decided on an immediate hysterectomy and saved the woman’s life by removing the uterus along with the tumor.
In another case, a 20-year-old woman who was 34-weeks pregnant was diagnosed with a condition of oligo-hydramnios in a sonographic examination which means the loss of fetal water in the mother’s womb endangered the lives of both the mother and the baby. The risk was increased due to the irregular heartbeat of the fetus.
Dr. Gadhvi made an accurate assessment of the situation by performing a cesarean delivery to save both the mother and the child and successfully treated the patient. Earlier in such cases, the patient had to be sent to a major hospital immediately. But now it became possible in a government hospital.
Additional Chief District Health Officer, Dr. Uday Tilawat applauded the expertise of Dr. Gadhvi.
