Under the National Child Health Program, an initiative is underway in Araria district to identify and treat children suffering from cleft lip and palate. As part of this, a mobile medical team identified 19 such children in the district. Among these, five children found eligible for treatment during preliminary health check-ups have been sent to Patna for advanced diagnosis, treatment, and necessary surgery.

In anticipation of a camp scheduled for October 25, these children, accompanied by their guardians, were dispatched from the Araria District Health Committee premises via three ambulances at 5 PM on October 24, heading to Mediversal Matri Hospital in Patna. District Coordinator Dr. Dolly Sah flagged off the children in the presence of Dr. Bhaskar Narayan and Dr. Aftab. Farebisganj pharmacist Naresh Kumar was also sent along to provide necessary support during the examination and treatment.

The children sent to Patna include Subhash Kumar, Deepanshi Kumari, and Kiyansdeep Kumar from Kursakanta block. Additionally, Shivansh Kumar from Narpatganj block and Olid Ahmed from Araria block have also been sent for treatment. This initiative marks a significant step towards providing a better life for these children.
