The infant was brought to India on July 12 and was operated on July 14. Doctors had performed an arterial switch with VSD closure method on him which lasted for around five hours. Rohaan was shifted to the ICU. To take him off the ventilator, another procedure was done after which he recovered well and went back to his country.
