Thane Civil Hospital and the 108 emergency ambulance service collaborated swiftly to save a newborn with a rare diaphragm defect. The situation arose when a 28-year-old woman in Shahapur taluka was found to have a severe congenital defect, with abdominal organs shifting into the chest cavity.

They coordinated with the surgical team at Kaushalya Hospital for the newborn's post-delivery intervention. The infant required immediate attention upon birth due to acute respiratory distress.
Pediatricians and the emergency ambulance team worked together to stabilize the baby's vital signs. The newborn was then swiftly transferred to Kaushalya Hospital for a complex surgical procedure to repair the diaphragmatic defect and correct the displaced organs. Despite the ongoing critical condition of the newborn, the swift decisions and teamwork at Thane Civil Hospital played a vital role in the child's survival.
The Civil Surgeon expressed pride in the collective effort, highlighting the importance of coordinated medical response in such emergencies.
