The Neonatal and Pediatrics Departments of Bhaikaka University and Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, observed World Prematurity Day at the H. M. Patel Academic Centre Auditorium. Parents of preterm infants currently admitted to the NICU, along with families of children discharged in the past two years, participated in the program.
To make the program a grand success, distinguished dignitaries including Dr. Jyoti Tiwari (Registrar, Bhaikaka University), Dr. Jitesh Desai (Medical Superintendent, Shree Krishna Hospital), Dr. Dipen Patel (Head, Neonatal Department), and faculty members Dr. Somashekhar Nimbalkar, Dr. Reshma Pujara, and Dr. Purvi Patel (Head, Pediatrics) graced the occasion.
