Ajeet is one of our students at the Pujali Brick field school. His parents
migrated to the brickfield from Chakradharpur in Jharkhand in search of
livelihood as a labour. On 11 th of February 2021, during games time at the
school, he fell and sustained an injury. Noticing the injury, the teachers
gave Ajeet first-aid in school On 12 th , Ajeet was absent due to fever. Our
teachers visited his home to enquire about his health. After speaking to the
mother and meeting Ajeet, they observed a swelling on the boy’s left
elbow. There was also an extreme pain accompanied with high
temperature.
The teachers immediately informed our office about the situation and after consultation, they took
Ajeet to the nearest Government Health Centre without further delay. An X-ray was done at the
Health Centre. The X-ray revealed that that there was a fracture in the child’s left elbow. Extent of the
fracture being severe, immediate spring surgery was necessary on the affected elbow on an urgent
basis. Unfortunately, the Government Hospital refused admission to the child on grounds that they are
not equipped to handle such emergency cases.
Following refusal by the Health Centre to admit Ajeet, the teachers took him to a nearby private
Nursing Home. There, after examining the boy, the doctor suggested to have another X-ray of the left
elbow. After thorough examination of the X-ray plate, the doctor suggested spring surgery on
emergency basis. Blood test was suggested prior to surgery. The blood sample was collected and the
and the report was provided in the evening. The Doctor suggested to admit Ajeet on 13 th morning and
he would perform the operation in the afternoon. Accordingly, on 13 th morning, Ajeet was admitted in
the Nursing Home. The surgery began at 1:30 p.m. and lasted for a little over 1 and half hours. The
child’s parents, Project Coordinator of BFS Project along with teachers and other staffs were present
at the Nursing Home at the time of surgery. Around 3:30 p.m. Ajeet was transferred to the general
ward from the Operation Theatre.
Under advice of the doctor, Ajeet was kept under observation at the general ward for 2 days. As there
were no complications, the boy would be discharged from the Nursing Home after 2 days. Ajeet
would have to be brought to the nursing home after 2 weeks for further examination and dressing. The
heeling was as expected.
