"Smiles of Hope, Faces of Joy"

Embarking on a journey of healing at Narayana Hospital in Howrah, we encounter the heartwarming story of little Sadia, whose life was overshadowed by a congenital facial deformity known as a cleft lip.

Amidst tears of despair from her family upon learning that their much-awaited, lovable child was born with a cleft lip and gums, financial constraints added to their burden, extinguishing any hope of affording the necessary medical intervention at a private hospital due to the high costs involved. Despite their efforts to seek help from various government facilities, they were met with endless waiting lists and unavailability of timely treatment.

In their darkest hour, a ray of light shone through as they discovered the newly established Cleft & Craniofacial Center at Narayana Hospital, Howrah. Overwhelmed with joy upon hearing that Sadia’s surgery would be sponsored, even if they could not afford it, hope was reignited in their hearts.

On the 19th of May, Sadia was admitted to the Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery department of NSH and underwent Cheiloplasty on the 20th of May. Dr. Siddhartha Chatterjee,Lead Cranio- MaxilloFacial surgeon with a blend of skill and empathy, performed the intricate surgery that would forever transform Sadia’s life. Dr. Piyali Ghosh, the Pediatric Anesthesiologist, ensured a smooth administration of general anesthesia and a quick recovery, while Dr. Subhadeep Das, the pediatric intensivist, vigilantly monitored the postoperative period to ensure a safe recovery.

In the bustling city of Howrah, where dreams converge and lives intertwine, a beacon of hope shines through the partnership between Narayana Superspecialty Hospital and ABMSS (a nationwide Cleft Charity with its headquarters in Bangalore).
