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.
Mother grateful for miracle
Sanvi Mohite expressed her gratitude towards the doctors and the hospital. Despite the challenges, she remained patient and determined, trusting the medical team's expertise. She described the journey of her babies from relying on ventilators to occupying a normal room as nothing short of a miracle.
Even after the twins were successfully taken off the ventilators, the medical professionals continued their diligent efforts to ensure the babies gained weight, which is crucial for their overall development and well-being.
Excellent neo-natal care
Medical Superintendent Uddhav Khillare praised the tireless efforts and unwavering determination of the entire medical team, including Dr Sushma Taide, Pediatric Prof Dr Ashok Rathod, Resident Medical Officer Prashant Bhosle, and others involved in the twins' care.
According to the NMMC, the NICU at Nerul Hospital has achieved significant success in the past year, successfully treating a total of 449 infants. Among them, 115 weighed less than 1 to 1.5 kg, demonstrating the hospital's commitment to providing specialized care for infants in critical conditions.
