Baby with his heart outside body

One-and-a-half-month after the surgery by a team of surgeons at Apollo Hospital, Neel (name changed) is living beyond the expected short life span of such children, doctors said. Neel is around four kilograms now. Once he attains more weight, at least six kg, doctors said they will perform another surgery on him. “We hope that we will be able to deliver successful results in the case of this baby who was referred to us from Jalandhar,” senior paediatric cardiologist at Apollo hospital, V Kohli said.
