Vacations

Just back after a break for three weeks. This was welcome and refreshing. There has been quite a bit of snow this year and it is still cold. Hospital attendance has dropped, for which we are grateful! Look forward to more regular posts.

Demise of Ms. Champa Rani

We are devastated by the tragic demise of Ms. Champa Rani, our pharmacist for the past nineteen years. She passed away on the 14th of December with a dissecting aortic aneurysm that dissected her coronaries. Please do keep the family in prayer.

Jubilee a grand success

The Platinum jubilee marking 75 years of service of the Lady Willingdon Hospital Manali was a mega event and a huge success. Thanks to the tireless work of our dedicated staff, all went absolutely flawlessly, including a very well choreographed one hour long cultural program. The retired and current staff who had worked more than twenty years were honoured by the MLA Shri Gobind Thakur. The SDM and BMO Naggar block spoke at the function, praising the work we have done and have been doing here.

PCNL done in Manali

Dr. Tara Chand Sharma performed two PCNLs in manali succesfully. Patients are doing well. We  hope to offer this soon here, which will be a boon to the patients.

Whipples surgery done in Manali

A fifty year old had come with obstructive jaundice and ct had showed a 4 cm mass in the head of the pancreas that looked unresectable. She was planned for a hepaticojejunostomy or diversion. On table her lesion was mobile, so it was decided to resect it. A Whipples pylorus sparing duodenectomy was done and she stood the procedure well and was discharged on the 9th postoperative day. Her resection margins were clear. This is the first time a Whipples procedure has been successfully done here.

Rare eye procedure done in Manali

Dr. Sandeep performed over twenty surgeries during the camp in Manali, including a Hummelshiem procedure, a rare and difficult operation done for strabismus. Over two hundred patients were seen.

Ent camp huge success

Dr. George Ani and Dr. Vibhor saw five hundred patients and operated on twenty, juggling the opd and long hours of operating on the twenty four hour sundial of time amazingly. Thanks to both and thanks to the team. The paucity of available options has led to a huge burden of ent disease here, with little resolution till some one is able to help.
