Baby of Sudalai, a 2-day-old newborn boy from Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India, required urgent treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent an ASO (Arterial Switch Operation).

In 2020, the baby received specialised cardiac treatment at AIMS, Cochin. An arterial switch operation is a major heart procedure used to correct certain congenital abnormalities involving the heart’s major arteries, helping restore a more normal pattern of blood circulation.

With timely medical intervention and fundraising support, the newborn was able to access critical cardiac care within just two days of birth. His journey highlights how financial assistance can help families secure life-saving heart surgery for newborns with complex congenital heart conditions and give them a stronger chance at a healthier future.
