With the help of the alumni group, 18 year old Wahengbam Sonia Chanu from Ithai Relief Camp, Bishnupur underwent a major surgery yesterday to remove a vascular malformation (mass/lump) on her neck at JNIMS Hospital.

The operation was successfully performed by Dr Shafaba (ENT) .

The alumni group also facilitated the gallbladder surgery (keyhole) of two displaced women, Y Rupa Devi (65) and Meitram Shantibala (56) staying at Kumbi Awang Khunou High School Relief Camp and Ithai Relief Camp, Bishnupur respectively.

Both medical procedures were done at JNIMS Hospital.

Y Rupa's keyhole operation was done on January 20 while Meitram Shantibala's surgery was performed on February 6 .
