The civic-run hospital in Kandivli has become the first peripheral hospital to conduct a cochlear transplant surgery which was done before only in tertiary care hospitals.
A resident of Sambhajinagar, 4-year-old Vedant Gange who underwent the surgery, was deaf since birth. “We came to know about his deafness two years after his birth. We consulted doctors in Sambhajinagar and then came to know about the issue. We were advised to come to Mumbai for treatment and that’s when we approached Bharat Ratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Municipal General Hospital," said Vendant’s father Sandeep Gange who is a fruit vendor.
