Sushma Swaraj aids a newborn with heart ailment
New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) came to rescue a newborn with heart ailment after help offered by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Parents of a newborn, who has a serious heart ailment, have a glimmer of hope after Swaraj ensured medical treatment at a premier hospital in New Delhi.
"Veins of the infant are entangled. Pure and impure blood is getting mixed. In medical term it is called TGA, transposition of greater arteries," Doctor Pankaj Lal said.
Sharma decided to seek Prime Minister Narendra Modi's help after doctors told that they did not have facilities in the city to conduct operation on the child.
"I had tweeted only to Prime Minister (Narendra Modi) and Health Minister (Jagat Prakash Nadda) but I am grateful to Sushma Swaraj because she responded to it," Sharma said.
