Kalpana Gangawane’s baby girl has been through an incredible journey, overcoming numerous hurdles with bravery and resilience. The 24-week-old barely weighing 500g survived despite being affected with lung, brain, and heart issues alongside premature birth and complications like severe apnea and acute kidney injury. The baby’s survival is a testament to her strength and willpower, coupled with Kaushalya Hospital’s dedication and ‘never give up’ attitude. Dr Jugal Gada of Kaushalya Hospital was at the helm of this miracle.
The baby which weighed 500g managed to gain 1.5kg in 100 days of neonatal intensive care to weigh 2kg, which was a significant milestone in her development. It is indeed remarkable how medical care at Kaushalya Hospital and the baby’s resilience came together for this positive outcome. The journey ahead will likely involve continued care, but the progress made so far is unbelievably inspiring.
