April - June 2019

Wow its been hot. In the last 20 years never seen temperatures continuously above 41 C. Sapped us thoroughly. As an emergency measure put shade nets over the waiting area and got 2 air coolers to alleviate the suffering of the patients who have to wait for hours as we ploughed through the crowd. Frayed tempers, exhaustion, irritability all in equal measure. What a relief it was for all of us when the vacations rolled by - a much needed break.
Back to work on 01 June and back to work. The heat abated a bit but the rains have stayed away.

Children at play drawing and colouring as they wait their turn for the assessments. This was a great way to engage the kids through the long questionnaires.






A Young Baby

A 3 month old baby presented to the RHC with signs of Congestive Heart Failure due to a congenital heart problem. We successfully resuscitated the baby here and then admitted at a secondary care centre. After the baby stabilised, he was referred to Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad. He was operated there by Dr Anil Kumar, Paediatric Cardio Thoracic Surgeon and his team, under the aegis of Arogyashree medical scheme. The baby has made an excellent recovery. God Bless the team at KIMS, Hyderabad.
