Jamshedpur: Unrelenting efforts of doctors at Sadar Hospital here seemed to have yielded a desirable result as Tuna Sabar, who was under the grip of severe skin disease, get a new lease of life.
Tuna Sabar, who belonged to a primitive tribe, was suffering from haemoglobin deficiency and acute skin disease. He was even unable to speak properly.
Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Tribal Welfare Minister Champai Soren came to know about it and immediately directed to East Singhbhum district Deputy Commissioner Vijaya Jadhav to ensure proper treatment to Tuna Sabar and her wife Somi Sabar, an anemic.
On the directive of the CM, Jadhav immediately brought Tuna Sabar from Dampabeda in Dumaria block on 6th February and admitted in the Sadar Hospital, where doctors from MGM Hospital and Sadar Hospital under the Supervision of Civil Surgeon Dr. Jujhar Majhi began his treatment.
The Deputy Commissioner herself visited the hospital several times and enquired about Tuna’s health condition and instructed the doctors to keep him 24×7 Observation. She also assured to provide all possible assistant, if required any.
A fortnight later, Tuna, who was brought here in moribund state, was responding to doctors with smile on his face.
Tuna, who was even unable to sit,walk and facing difficulty to speak, said he was not feeling well for last 3/4 months, maybe due to some infection inflicted while working in the paddy field.
He was in the grip of acute skin disease coupled with haemoglobin deficiency.
However, Tuna was recovering fast and likely to return home healthy soon.
Despite her busy schedule, the Deputy Commissioner almost made it a routine to seek Tuna’s health updates, his progress report, interacting with doctors and remained in contact with the Civil Surgeon ever since Tuna was admitted.
The doctors had removed all dead skins from Tuna’s body within a week after he was admitted in the hospital. He was shifted ICU to prevent infection. On the advice of doctors, Tuna was even given bath with coconut oil to kill the infection slowly.
Today, the smiles on Tuna’s face speak volume of the sincere effort, care and hardwork put up by the doctors.
