A heartwarming story of why parents of a set of twins visited the hospital where they were born has gone viral. Reportedly, it is to celebrate the one-year birthdays of the kids who had a "challenging start to life" and were under the “exceptional care” of the neonatal team at the Chennai hospital for nearly 50 days.
Additional Chief Secretary of the Health Department of Tamil Nadu, Supriya Sahu, posted a heart-melting picture of the celebration on X. “A Hospital, Two Tiny Miracles, and a Birthday Celebration. RSRM Hospital at Chennai was filled with smiles and gratitude when parents returned to celebrate the first birthday of their twin babies,” she wrote.

“Born last year on 15th December, the baby boy and girl weighed just 1.3 kg and 1.2 kg, facing a challenging start to life. Their first days were anything but easy, 20 days on ventilator support and weeks of recovery tested their resilience. After 50 days of exceptional care from our neonatal team, these little fighters finally went home, beginning a journey of hope,” she added.
“One year later, the twins returned to the very place where their story began - this time healthy, smiling, and surrounded by love. It was more than a birthday; it was a celebration of life, resilience, and the unwavering commitment of our doctors and nurses. Kudos Dr Shanthi Elango and team,” she further expressed.
