Agartala July 15: A four-and-half-year-old girl of Udaipur got a new lease of life – thanks to the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK).

Tania Das Baishnab is the daughter of one Parimal Das of Gokulpur area under Udaipur in the Gomati district. Born in a poverty-stricken family, she was suffering from congenital heart disease.  

In a tweet, CMO (Health) Gomati Tripura shared the information and wrote, the RBSK team of Gomati District went to Gokulpur on a scheduled visit at the Anganwadi Centre (AWC). During the health screening, the team members felt that she might have heart disease. The team members, without any delay, communicated with the State authority and referred her to the IGM for an ECHO test free of cost. Her congenital heart disease was diagnosed at the IGM Hospital.   

After detection, with the initiatives of the state authorities and RBSK team members of the Gomati Hospital, Tania was sent to Manipal Hospital in Bangalore. The child underwent successful heart surgery on June 24 last. The whole procedure was done free of cost.  

“The RSBK team of Gomati District saved the life of my little daughter.  After knowing about her health condition we were helplessly worried – we do not have so much money for such costly treatment. All credits go to the RBSK team of Gomati District. We are grateful to them”, Parimal Das Baishnab, the father of the girl said.  

The RBSK team was comprised of Medical Officers - RBSK, Dr Puja Debnath and Dr Arunabha Debnath along with Pharmacist Prasenjit Nama.
