We are happy to be able to help them in a small way. We are grateful for the support of Ministry of Health and the Government of Oman, without which this mission would not have been possible. We aree thankful to Mr. Khalid Hilal al Shaqsi, Health Attaché, Consulate General of the Sultanate of Oman and his team for having supported this initiative by sponsoring the travel, stay and hospitalization of the first child treated in India. Their backing would go a long way in changing the life of a child for the better."
