Kumari Fathima Shiya, a 7-month-old baby girl from Cochin, Kerala, India, required treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) Closure.

In 2017, Fathima Shiya received specialised cardiac treatment at AIMS, Cochin. VSD closure is performed to repair an abnormal opening between the lower chambers of the heart, helping improve blood circulation and reduce additional strain on the heart.

With timely medical care and fundraising support, Fathima Shiya was able to access the paediatric cardiac treatment she needed during infancy. Her journey highlights how financial assistance can help families secure essential heart surgery for babies with congenital heart conditions and support a healthier future.
