Agartala, July 20: In a poignant return to his alma mater, Dr Kanaknarayan Bhattacharjee, a distinguished doctor at Agartala Government Hospital, led a historic and complex heart surgery at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) hospital in Imphal.
This extraordinary collaboration between government doctors from Tripura and Manipur resulted in a rare and successful medical achievement.
“Indeed, it was an honour and an emotional experience for me to lead the team and be invited by RIMS, my alma mater, after 23 years for such a noble cause,” Dr Bhattacharjee remarked. On July 11, 2024, the dedicated team performed two open-heart surgeries on two young boys from Manipur, both born with congenital heart diseases, in a single day at RIMS’s sophisticated new Cardiac OT complex.
The Cardiac Surgery (CTVS) team from AGMC & GBP Hospital in Agartala played a crucial role in assisting RIMS Imphal in this endeavour. Dr. Bhattacharjee expressed his sincere gratitude to the Chief Minister of Tripura, Prof. Dr. Manik Saha, for his inspiration and support. He also thanked DHS Tripura Dr Sanjib Debbarma, RIMS Director Dr Sunil Sharma, RIMS Medical Superintendent Dr Sanjib Nepram, and Dr Th Chito Singh, IC CTVS RIMS, for their dedicated efforts and exceptional hospitality, which made this monumental event possible.
“Our AGMC cardiac anaesthetist Dr. Monimoy Debbarma, perfusionist Sujan Sahu, and surgical assistant Sudipta Mondal performed their roles splendidly and also trained others,” Bhattacharjee added. “This was a wonderful opportunity to give back to the institution that nurtured us and to facilitate the exchange of medical expertise between Tripura and Manipur.”
This historic collaboration not only highlights the exceptional skills and dedication of the medical professionals involved but also underscores the potential for inter-state cooperation in advancing healthcare.
