Baby of Marseena, a 7-day-old newborn boy from Malappuram, Kerala, India, required urgent treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent an ASO (Arterial Switch Operation).

In 2019, 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 the first week of life. 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.
