Yet again, a miracle of love, a miracle of selfless service.

Unnati's parents hail from Uttar Pradesh, and they were not aware of the hole in her heart, until a few weeks ago. Her father, Sri Samarpal Singh who makes ends meet drives for a living, and the mother manages the home. They were worried when little Unnati was falling ill frequently with diarrhoea, vomiting and fever. Recently, they consulted a doctor who diagnosed a hole in her little heart, which crushed the dreams of her parents. They were completely distraught, and surrendered to the Almighty. The doctor told the young parents about this hospital and referred them to Dr Munesh Tomar, Head of Cardiology. They arrived on April 14th, and she was successfully operated on April 18th, a gift of life granted in the temple of healing. The emotional parents are still unable to believe that their little bundle of joy is now hale and hearty, and will stay this way for forever!
