A woman suffering from a 15.5 kg tumor was given a new lease on life thanks to the Swasthya Saathi Yojana. The patient had been neglected by various private hospitals due to financial constraints and the complexity of the required surgery. However, Dr. Seraj Ahmed, an Assistant Professor at SSKM Hospital, was able to come to her rescue with the help of the Swasthya Saathi Yojana.

The woman had been experiencing vomiting and abdominal pain for a year before seeking medical help. Despite visiting multiple nursing homes and hospitals, she was unable to receive treatment due to her poor financial condition and the intricate nature of the surgery. Eventually, she was referred to Dr. Ahmed, who led a team of doctors in performing the surgery through the Swasthya Sathi scheme.

The successful operation resulted in the removal of the massive tumor from the patient's body, and she is currently in stable condition. This case highlights the importance of initiatives like the Swasthya Saathi Yojana, which helps provide access to medical care for those who would otherwise be unable to afford it. With the support of such schemes, individuals facing complex medical issues can receive the treatment they need to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
