Patient has been discharged from the hospital and is doing extremely well. Dr. Sathiyamoorthy Director JTH played a key role in getting the legal necessities accomplished and making the resources available as needed. Very many thanks to our donors as their donations helped to develop the Operating Room and the High Dependancy Unit to care for the patient.
