MADURAIAn 11-year-old girl has recovered from a paralytic attack that was triggered by her autoimmune disorder. Thanks to the joint efforts of doctors from multiple departments at Government Rajaji Hospital, the child, after spending 30 days in the Intensive Respiratory Care Unit (IRCU), is now up on her feet and ready to go home. In between, she lost her father and the mother had to leave her for few days under the total care of IRCU nurses in the hospital. The gesture and the care provided by the entire medical and para-medical team earned appreciation from the Dean Dr.A Rathinavel. The treatment with expensive injections (costing up to ₹ 80,000 a vial) and month-long stay in intensive care unit would cost huge sums in any other hospital, he added.
