Timely Medical help from Shalby Hospitals, Ahmedabad saved the life of Mr. Milan Nalinbhai Mistry, age 29.

While riding a motorcycle on December 25, 2016, he got trapped by a kite thread at Sachana, Nr. Viramgam, Gujarat. His neck got severely injured and the wound was so deep that the hospitals in Viramgam could not come to his rescue. He was rushed to Shalby Hospital at S.G.

According to Dr. Chirag Shah, General and Laparoscopic Surgeon, Shalby Hospitals "The patient had neck injury with a tracheal injury with exposed neck vessels.

Being a Multi-specialty hospital, we at Shalby could provide the patient all necessary treatment under one roof, immediately, which helped saving a precious life."
