Navi Mumbai: NMMC's Nerul Hospital Breathes New Life In Twins Born With Partially Developed Lungs
Born prematurely at just 26 weeks with underdeveloped lungs, the twins required special care and support.
Sanvi Swapnil Mohite, a resident of Sarasole, experienced a challenging situation when she went into labor on February 10, 2023, and gave birth to twins at the Maasaheb Meenatai Thackeray Hospital in Nerul, managed by the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC). However, the newborns faced a critical condition as their lungs were not fully developed. The medical team at the hospital swiftly moved the babies to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for immediate attention and care.
Medical team worked tirelessly
As the twins arrived prematurely at just 26 weeks, they were born with underdeveloped lungs and required special care and support. The dedicated doctors and staff at Nerul Hospital placed the babies on ventilators and administered necessary medications, including expensive injections, to ensure their lungs functioned properly. Over the course of several months, the medical team tirelessly worked to help the babies progress and eventually wean them off ventilators.
