Sulabh adopts ‘miracle baby’ with protruding heart
September 5th, 2009 - 8:16 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, Sep 5 (IANS) The 10-day-old baby who has undergone a rare surgery here after he was born with a protruding heart has found support from the NGO Sulabh International.
Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Thursday operated upon the infant and pushed the heart inside the body after creating space for it. The boy, whose parents are poor, is now recovering at the hospital.
Sulabh founder Bindeshwar Pathak Saturday said he will look after the post-operative care of the baby and give a job to his father Chander Majhi in his organisation.
The child was suffering from Ectopia Cordis, a rare heart ailment that doctors believe occurs in around five cases per million births.
“We pray and wish the miracle baby’s speedy recovery. We will take care of the education and upbringing of the child,” Pathak said.
On Aug 26, the baby was shifted to Delhi from Bihar for the surgery that lasted for nearly four hours.
