Anamika, an 8-year-old girl from Thrissur, Kerala, India, required specialised treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent ASD (Atrial Septal Defect) Device Closure.

In 2024, Anamika received specialised cardiac treatment at AIMS, Cochin. ASD device closure is a 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 Anamika to receive the treatment she needed. Her journey highlights the importance of making specialised heart care accessible to children with congenital heart conditions and helping families manage the financial burden associated.
