In the month of October, inspite of one week puja holidays approximately 15000 patients were treated.
STORY OF CHANGE
Priya Mandal aged about 18 months was born
with Cleft Lip, a genetic disorder. As per survey
in India every 600th child is born with this
disorder i.e. either cleft lip or cleft palate.
Priya was referred from our Namkhana center
to CMRI Hospital where free surgery was
performed on her by Dr. Anupam Golash
sponsored by Smile Train Foundation. After
the corrective surgery she is leading a
respectable life.
The most truthful way to serve God is to serve the poorest.
