Saimithra M, a 3-year-old girl from Thiruvarur, Tamil Nadu, India, required specialised cardiac treatment for Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex congenital heart condition.

In 2023, Saimithra received specialised cardiac care at Apollo Hospital. Tetralogy of Fallot involves multiple structural abnormalities of the heart that can reduce the amount of oxygen-rich blood reaching the body and often requires specialist cardiac treatment.

Access to timely paediatric cardiac care enabled Saimithra to receive the treatment she needed. Her journey highlights the importance of making specialised heart care accessible to children with complex congenital heart conditions and helping families overcome the financial burden of essential cardiac treatment.
