Our initial few patients were newborn on ventilator not in position to shift and got operated here. But now all types of surgeries even most complex one were done in last 2 years. Slowly by word of mouth publicity, patient started coming still Majority of our patients (45%) were here than 1 month”, Dr Arvind Bishnoi added
