Demonstrating the efficiency of its healthcare system, doctors of Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) successfully saved the life of a 22-year-old youth who was bitten by a venomous snake through prompt medical intervention and coordinated treatment.
Lokesh Kumar, son of CCL employee Bhuneshwar Munda, was rushed to CCL’s Central Hospital, Dakra, immediately after the snakebite. The medical team acted without delay, administering the required dose of Anti-Snake Venom (ASV) and initiating emergency treatment to stabilize his condition.
Following the initial treatment, Lokesh was referred to CCL’s Central Hospital, Gandhinagar, for advanced monitoring and specialized medical care.
Doctors at Gandhinagar Central Hospital kept him under close observation for two days. Owing to the timely administration of anti-snake venom and continuous monitoring by the medical team, his condition improved steadily. He has now made a full recovery and is being discharged from the hospital.
The successful treatment highlights the preparedness and capability of CCL’s healthcare infrastructure in handling medical emergencies. Equipped with modern facilities, experienced doctors, and round-the-clock emergency services, CCL’s hospitals continue to provide quality healthcare to employees, their families, and the communities living around its operational areas.
