 Faizan
is one of those whose life has been improved thanks
mainly to government welfare schemes. Bhopal's
Durganagar-based Noor Khan is a much relieved man
since his son Faizan will be able to live on and
breathe easily without any difficulty. All this has
been possible through state government's Deendayal
Antodaya Upchar Yojana.
Noor
Khan, a poor man, has been trying to meet both the
ends by working as a casual labourer. His son Faizan
also used to lend a helping hand to him.
Unfortunately, one day a wooden plank fell on the nose
of Faizan during the work and his nose got flattened.
After prolonged treatment the wounds were treated but
Faizan started to experience difficulty and pain in
breathing. Despite financial crunch, Noor Khan
consulted private hospital for Faizan's treatment.
They quoted Rs 30 thousand as the fees for operation
which was not manageable by Noor Khan.
Noor
Khan possessed Deendayal Treatment Card which is
issued to people living below poverty line. On
neighbours' advice, Noor Khan contacted
ear-nose-throat specialists in Jay Prakash Hospital.
ENT specialists Dr. Naveen Bhatia and Dr Ashok
Banthhia studied Faizan's case minutely. They not only
did septorhinoplasty operation on Faizan but also
undertook cosmetic surgery. Dr. Banthhia said this was
the first instance of cosmetic surgery in JP Hospital.
These
days Noor Khan waxes eloquent about Deendayal Upchar
Card before the people of his locality. He says such a
magnificent treatment of Faizan has been possible only
thanks to Deendayal Upchar Card.
