Pak couples come to India to be parents

[indushek]

AHMEDABAD: Trust deficit between India and Pakistan has not stopped women from Lahore or Sindh coming to Ahmedabad with hopes of becoming a mother. Scores of Pakistani couples come to Gujarat to have babies through the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) method.

Sahista, a 34-year-old woman from Lahore, waited for years to have a child. When she learnt about IVF clinics in India, she came to Ahmedabad where one of her relatives stay. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Her doctor advised her to opt for IVF. "We did an embryo transfer. Sahista conceived and returned to Pakistan. Two months ago, she became a mother. She sent us picture of her family with the newborn," said Dr Manish Banker of Pulse Women's Hospital.

Radha and Om Prakash Maheshwari, a couple from Hyderabad in Pakistan, too, came to Ahmedabad with the hope of having a baby. "We have been married for over eight years but did not have a child. We underwent treatment by doctors all across our country but it didn't yield any result. Then, our relatives in Ahmedabad told us to come here," said Om Prakash. The couple consulted doctors. "In two months, we have got results," he said.

Good. High standard and affordable medical health. Perhaps medical tourism might fuel further cross border mood relaxations.

Pakistani boy can hear again, thanks to Gurgaon hospital

GURGAON: A day after four-year-old Mohammad Ryyan from Pakistan got back his hearing following surgery at a hospital here, doctors started audio-visual therapy for the boy on Tuesday to help him understand different sounds.

"Rehabilitation is a part of the treatment in which we make the child hear different types of sounds and understand them," Amitabh Malik, senior ENT consultant at Paras Hospital where Ryyan underwent surgery, said on Tuesday.

The operation, called cochlear implantation, was conducted on the boy hailing from Karachi on Monday. Ryyan lost his hearing ability when he was just two months old. And he was admitted to Paras Hospital after several unsuccessful attempts to cure him by different doctors in both India and Pakistan.

"This kind of surgery is very rare. It includes three basic steps. First we perform the cochlear implant and when the patient recovers from the surgery, we switch the device on. After this we provide them therapy to convert sign language into real language. This therapy is provided because the patient has never heard any voice before and this would be the first time he would be hearing anything," said Malik.

"It was a challenging surgery and required high-tech surgical skills. In Ryyan's case it was more difficult because he could hear sounds till he was two months old. After that his hearing abilities deteriorated and he became deaf," the doctor added.

According to hospital authorities, the boy can leave for his country a week hence.

Ryyan's father Asim Riyaz is a happy man now that his little boy can hear everything without any difficulty.

"We are very happy to see our child hearing things with no difficulty. We are grateful that we came to India where finally this kind of surgery could be performed. Initially we were apprehensive about coming to India, but after several unsuccessful attempts, we zeroed in on Paras Hospital. Now I am taking a good message of friendship and peace for the people of Pakistan," Riyaz said.

I remember that during the 2005 earthquake, an Indian company called Jaipur foot, fitted over 35000 people with affordable and simple prosthetics. I think that India has a bright future in this field.........

News like these have been trickling in for quite a few years now. ANother incident I remember was when a Pakistani couple got their son who was suffering from some rare disease operated at AIIMS in Delhi.

P.S. I read this article a couple of days ago and thought of posting it here but was apprehensive if it will turn into a flame thread. Hope that doesn't happen.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi flagged off the delegation from her residence which will reach the middle-east country.
According to D R Mehta of BMVSS, the delegation will be in Iraq for a month and during this period they will distribute the famed Jaipur Foot for those injured in the wars that ravaged the country.
"We will fix artificial limbs on around 1,000 people. This will be a record in itself," Mehta said.
