Farukh was brought into our Centre screaming in pain due to the football sized tumour in his right femur.

The next day with the help of Step III analgesics, play and distraction therapy, here you can see a happy, pain free and comfortable child. He is awaiting amputation of the right leg as the tumour is too big in size to be excised out.
Farukh is from a remote village in Haryana; although as the crow flies, the distance would not be more than 100 kms from Delhi. Ignorance, poverty and quacks all contribute to this neglected child.
Grateful to see that he is now in good hands and receiving the treatment he deserves.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. What has happened to him since?
ReplyDeleteThe limb has been amputated just below the hip and now he is fine; the phantom limb pain is well controlled and he has gone home.
