GUWAHATI: Seema Boro’s parents had given up all hope of saving their daughter last year when she was suffering from severe encephalitis.
It was the perseverance of Captain Nikita Srivastava at Army’s Red Horn Division’s Field Hospital in Assam’s Hattigor and the Army’s help that six-year-old Seema is leading a normal life.
The poor couple from Sonitpur district took their daughter to Srivastava last year. The doctor took it up as a challenge. Every day the Army vehicle would pick Seema up from her house and bring her back after treatment, said the defence spokesperson on Thursday. This continued for about three months. Seema has now started going to school.
