New Delhi [India], December 19 (ANI): The ease in travel restrictions has come as a respite for four infants from the Philippines who recently underwent liver transplants at a Delhi hospital.
With COVID-19 lockdown and restriction on international travel, they had to suffer for almost 10 months delay due to delay in specialised medical attention that has led to worsening of their health conditions.
As per an official release of the Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, where the four infants were treated, the babies aged between six months to one year were either born with chronic liver disorders or developed liver cirrhosis right after birth.
