Braving Two Battles: Shreya's Courageous Fight Against Leukemia Amidst COVID

Shreya Brahma, a 9-year-old girl, simultaneously battled COVID-19 and acute leukemia during the pandemic's first wave. Despite the challenges in treatment due to the lack of hospital resources, her resilience and the dedication of the medical team at Peerless Hospital led her to recovery. Today, Shreya is in remission and has reclaimed her passion for dancing and painting.

During the first wave of COVID-19, 9-year-old Shreya Brahma's parents noticed bruises on her body, fatigue, and continuous fever. Despite the pandemic's challenges, they sought medical help. Initially diagnosed with COVID, further tests revealed she also had acute leukemia.

Peerless Hospital's dedicated Pediatric and Hematology teams, led by Dr. Sanjukta De and Dr. Shazia Gulshan, navigated uncharted territory, balancing her chemotherapy with COVID treatment amid resource shortages. The hospital staff even donated blood to sustain her treatment.

After two years of remission and maintenance therapy, Shreya is now healthy and has returned to her passions for dancing and painting. Her story is a testament to human resilience and medical dedication.
