Jayasri M, a 7-year-old girl from Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, India, required specialised treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Device Closure.

In 2023, Jayasri received specialised cardiac treatment at Apollo Hospital. ASD device closure is a minimally invasive catheter-based procedure used to close an abnormal opening between the upper chambers of the heart, helping improve blood circulation and reduce strain on the heart.

Access to timely paediatric cardiac care enabled Jayasri to receive the treatment she needed. Her journey highlights the importance of making specialised heart care accessible to children with congenital heart conditions and the role that financial assistance and fundraising can play in helping families afford essential cardiac treatment.
