Kaka-Ba Hospital performs live-saving surgery pro bono on 3-year-old

Kaka-Ba Hospital, the CSR arm of Cadila Pharmaceuticals Limited, recently performed a successful life-saving surgery free of cost on a 3-year-old male patient from Rajasthan.

Ankit Mali, 3 year-old boy, from Asada village in Rajasthan’s Barmer district, was diagnosed with Thalassemia Major six months after his birth. He faced severe health challenges, including the need for monthly blood transfusions and an enlarged spleen.

Ankit’s family was advised to consider splenectomy. Dr. Jignesh Patel, surgeon at Kaka-Ba Hospital at Hansot in Bharuch, performed the crucial splenectomy, providing Ankit with a new lease on life. The surgery was smooth and uneventful, and the child was discharged from the hospital days after the surgery.

Dr. Bharat Champaneria, Superintendent of Kaka-Ba Hospital, said, “At Kaka-Ba Hospital, it is our mission to extend a helping hand by providing essential medical care to those in need. Ankit’s case is a perfect example of our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. We are happy to have been able to help Ankit and his family lead a better life.” 

Ankit’s father Mahendra Bhai Mali, who runs a small grocery store, expressed profound gratitude to the team of Kaka-Ba Hospital, saying, “This is like Ankit has received a second life. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in his big stride and beyond.”

The team at Kaka-Ba Hospital remains committed to serving the community and ensuring that quality healthcare is accessible to all, especially the underprivileged.
