Chitralinga Receives the Gift of Voice | Dr. E. V. Raman | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

Master Chitralinga had a traumatic experience of dengue, haemorrhagic fever and fits, which caused breathing difficulties due to a narrowed airway. A tracheostomy was performed to fix this condition, taking away his ability to speak. Dr. E. V. Raman, Consultant - ENT, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, suggested and performed a complex 3-stage surgery to reconstruct Chitralinga’s airway, enabling him to breathe and speak on his own.
