Hayat Amaan, a 3-year-old boy from Sri Lanka, required specialised cardiac treatment and underwent a stenting procedure for his heart condition.

In 2026, Hayat travelled to India and received specialised cardiac care at AIMS, Cochin. Cardiac stenting is used in certain heart conditions to help open or support a narrowed blood vessel or pathway and improve blood flow. The specific type of stenting performed in Hayat’s case was not listed in the available details.

Access to specialised paediatric cardiac care enabled Hayat to receive the treatment he needed away from his home country. His journey highlights the importance of helping children with complex heart conditions access appropriate medical expertise, including when treatment requires travelling across borders.
