A "severely" malnourished two-and-a-half-year-old girl, suffering from old burns and anemia, was cured successfully by Ankura Hospitals in association with Sood Charity Foundation. Dr Srinidhi, Medical Director at Ankura Hospitals, LB Nagar, said, Afeefa Maryum was admitted to hospital last month with a chronic non-healing wound with intermittent bleeding and severe anemia with malnutrition.
A year ago hot oil accidentally fell over her left temporo - parietal region, left hand, nape of neck and upper back of the trunk. She was immediately taken to a local hospital where collagen was applied and was discharged within a week. Post discharge, the child developed scalds over left side of the scalp area and was again admitted in the same hospital when collagen was applied over left side scalp and nape of neck, for the second time. The child didn`t receive sufficient diet and nutrients leading to malnourishment.
