“Deeply touched by this love and affection of a specially-abled child who is undergoing therapy at Gauhati Medical College & Hospital. As per his mother’s request, instructed the GMCH Superintendent to make arrangements for further treatment of the kid in Bangalore,” Sarma tweeted.

Earlier in September, doctors at a private hospital in Bengaluru made headlines after saving the life of a six-month-old child from West Bengal who was diagnosed with a liver disease called biliary atresia, a rare condition found in one among 12,000 kids. The surgeons carried out a 12-hour surgery which turned out to be a successful one and gave the child a new life. Biliary atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder. This congenital condition occurs when ducts inside or outside the liver do not develop normally.
