Bhubaneswar, Sept 22: A four-year-old girl, who suffered 30 per cent burn injuries following an accident and was treated at the Burn and Plastic Surgery department of Institute of Medical Sciences and SUM Hospital here, has been discharged following her recovery. Pragyan Priyadarshini Sahoo had been brought to the hospital with deep burns on her face, neck and upper limbs in the accident in which her mother had suffered over 90 per cent burns. Her mother did not survive despite the best efforts of the doctors, nurses and paramedics.
