Leh, Aug 05: In a compelling display of medical dedication and human compassion, a 54-year-old woman battling Stage 4 breast cancer was successfully treated at SNM Hospital, despite having no financial backing or support from welfare schemes.
The patient, who walked into the hospital with little hope, was not a beneficiary of any government healthcare programme. However, the hospital administration ensured that her treatment would not be compromised. Chemotherapy was arranged through internal coordination, which helped bring the disease under control and made her eligible for a complex life-saving surgery.
Dr. Padma, Senior Consultant Surgeon at SNM Hospital, led the surgical team in performing the intricate procedure. The operation was carried out with precision and care, earning appreciation for the medical team’s commitment and expertise.
Post-operative care was equally well-coordinated. Ache Sonam from the Orthopaedic department played a key role in ensuring that essential medications were made available promptly, contributing to the patient’s smooth recovery.
Hospital officials said the case stands as a strong example of the institution’s commitment to ensuring quality care for the most vulnerable, regardless of their socio-economic status. They added that the collective efforts of doctors, nurses, and administrative staff reflect the values that SNM Hospital strives to uphold.
The patient is now recovering and remains under close observation. Hospital authorities commended every team member who contributed to the treatment, calling their work an inspiring model of selfless service and efficient patient care.
