LUCKNOW: Eleven-year-old
Ehsaas
, also known as ‘
Mowgli girl
’, was on Monday discharged from RML hospital where she had been admitted for the past few days. The girl, who was rescued from the forest area of
Bahraich
, had been suffering from diarrhoea, low haemoglobin and stomach worms.
“She was stable to go home so was discharged after preliminary treatment,” said hospital superintendent Dr Omkar Yadav. Suresh
Dhapola
, founder of Balloons, the shelter home where the girl lives, claimed that even after a two-month stay at the Baharaich distrcit hospital, the girl was not given any de-worming tablet. “A day after she was brought here, Ehsaas started vomiting and her haemoglobin went as low as 5.8 units against the normal 11.5-13.5 units. We gave her de-worming tablets and worms as big as 3 to 5 inches came out,” he said.
Following persistent diarrhoea, Ehsaas was admitted to RML hospital. “The paediatrician at out centre, Dr
Naveen Srivastava
, has also recommended a CT scan for her stomach and brain for an overall testing. We feel she should also be vaccinated,” said Dhapola.
