The operation took 18 hours to complete. The twins are doing well now. Dr. Radhakrishnan also visited Kolkata to discuss pediatric issues with the media.
Dr. Radhakrishnan asserted 20% of Pediatric cancers occur in India. Cancer is primarily genetic and requires timely management for effective treatment, unlike non-cancer diseases which can be delayed for some time but not for a long period. Dr. Satheesan also highlights that by keeping track of the child’s well-being and mannerisms, parents can understand the problems that their kids are suffering from. In this way, they can get timely treatment.
