Hyderabad, 02.09.2025: Sri Sri Holistic Hospitals has successfully treated and discharged a premature baby born at just 28 weeks of gestation, weighing only 860 grams at birth. The baby, delivered in the Emergency Room at SSHH Nizampet, was shifted in a very critical condition to SSHH Kondapur on the first day of life.
At admission, the baby was diagnosed with severe sepsis, shock, and respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation. The newborn was kept in an incubator and managed with intensive care. Over the next few days, with the administration of advanced antibiotics, surfactant therapy for lung support, and medications for heart stabilization, the baby gradually improved. Ventilation was weaned down step by step from mechanical support to non-invasive ventilation (NIV), then to high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), and eventually to room air.
During the hospital stay, the baby developed jaundice three times and was managed successfully with intensive phototherapy. Importantly, no major complications such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), or intra-ventricular hemorrhage (IVH) were observed.
After 50 days of NICU care, the baby was discharged at a healthy weight of 1.57 kg, accepting feeds well, with good neurological status. The mother was trained in Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), paladai feeding, and home care techniques to ensure continued healthy growth.
This baby is the grandchild of a staff member at SSHH and was treated at a nominal cost, as the family could not afford the expenses. With relentless efforts from the Pediatrics and Neonatology team, and the strong support of the SSHH management, the baby is now thriving.
Speaking on the occasion, the Pediatric team expressed, “Such cases remind us that with timely medical care, dedicated expertise, and compassion, even extremely premature babies can survive and thrive. This is a testament to the holistic approach and commitment of our hospital.”
The management of Sri Sri Holistic Hospitals reiterated its mission to make advanced healthcare accessible and affordable, while continuing to support staff families and the community with care that goes beyond medical treatment.
