In a groundbreaking medical achievement, Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Hospital successfully removed an 8.4 kg tumour from a 68-year-old man’s thigh, marking one of the most significant surgical feats in Rajasthan’s history. Rambabu, a resident of Dholpur, had endured this enormous growth for over 30 years, suffering chronic pain and limited mobility. The complex surgery, led by Dr. Narendra Sharma, required precision due to the tumour’s proximity to critical blood vessels and nerves—yet was executed with minimal complications.
What makes this story even more inspiring? The life-changing procedure was conducted free of cost under Rajasthan’s Mukhyamantri Ayushman Arogya Yojana, a testament to the power of accessible healthcare. SMS Hospital, a cornerstone of public health in the state since 1934, continues to push boundaries with cutting-edge procedures, from robotic surgeries to advanced oncological care.
Rambabu and his family couldn’t be more grateful. After decades of hardship, he now has a renewed chance at a normal life. “These doctors gave me hope again,” he shared, while his daughter praised both the medical team and the government scheme that made it possible. The hospital’s superintendent hailed the surgery as a proud moment, showcasing Rajasthan’s growing medical expertise and commitment to transforming lives.
