Rohaan has a hole in his heart and was referred to the multi-speciality hospital for treatment. However due to cross-border tension between India and Pakistan, his parents were unable to get medical visa for their child’s treatment in India.
Dr. Ashutosh Marwah, an eminent pediatric cardiologist along with pediatric cardiac surgeon Dr. Rajesh Sharma will investigate and treat Rohaan.
While Dr. Marwah will examine the disease and condition of the baby, Dr. Sharma will perform operation on the baby and we send best wishes!
