Doctors at KIMS Saveera Hospital successfully treated a three-year-old boy suffering from pneumonia-developed multiple complications that put his life in danger. The team of doctors at the hospital saved the boy’s life after performing a series of critical medical procedures.

Giving details about the case, Consultant Pediatrician Dr. A. Mahesh and the team of doctors explained, “The boy from Tadipatri was initially diagnosed with pneumonia and was being treated locally.
