In Another remarkable achievement, the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) doctors performed a tough lung transplant operation for the first time under the Aarogyasri scheme.
It is a big achievement for the public health sector in Hyderabad. The doctors at NIMS hospital successfully saved the life of a patient by performing a lung transplant operation.
Getting into the details, CH Hymavathi, a 45 year old patient from Siddipet district, has been suffering from a lung problem for several years. Her lung capacity has been decreasing, and she relies on oxygen treatment at home. Her condition has reached a point where she cannot survive without oxygen for even a few minutes.
After careful consideration, NIMS doctors determined that a lung transplant was the only viable option for Hymavathi.
Coincidentally, a brain-dead patient named Pooja from Warangal had matching blood type and lung size with Hymavathi. The surgery was conducted under the leadership of the doctors from the organ transplant department at NIMS.
With this lung transplant surgery, the total surgeries tally in 2023 is now 27.
