Udaipur: Three extremely low-birth-weight newborns have successfully overcome critical health challenges at Pacific Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and have now been discharged from the hospital in healthy condition. The babies were born weighing just 720 grams, 840 grams, and 915 grams respectively—approximately one-fourth of the weight of an average newborn. After receiving intensive care for nearly 45 to 60 days, all three babies have returned home with their families.

The babies were treated under the supervision of Dr. Vivek Parashar, with Dr. Rahul Khatri and Dr. Manoj Joshi as part of the medical team. Extremely premature and low-birth-weight babies face a high risk of breathing difficulties, infections, intestinal complications, and neurological problems. Maintaining body temperature and ensuring safe weight gain are also major challenges.

Throughout the treatment, the babies were closely monitored for their breathing, heart rate, body temperature, feeding ability, and weight gain. Dr. Parashar said that every day is crucial in the care of such newborns and that timely treatment and coordinated teamwork significantly improve the chances of recovery.

Chairman Appreciates the Medical Team

PIMS Chairman Ashish Agrawal praised the entire medical and nursing team and credited their dedication, hard work, and commitment for this remarkable achievement.

Treatment Worth Lakhs Provided Completely Free of Cost

Advanced NICU support, specialized medicines, and nearly two months of hospitalization would normally involve expenses running into lakhs of rupees. However, PIMS provided the entire treatment free of cost, giving the families significant financial relief.

All three newborns have now been discharged in stable and healthy condition and have returned home with their parents. The doctors have advised regular follow-up and monitoring.

The inspiring journey of these three little warriors, who began life weighing just 720, 840, and 915 grams, stands as a remarkable example of modern medical care, dedicated healthcare professionals, and the courage and patience of their families.
