R  Renius, a 9-year-old boy from Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu, India, required specialised treatment for a congenital heart condition and underwent a PABV procedure.

In 2023, Renius received specialised cardiac treatment at AIMS, Cochin. PABV is a catheter-based cardiac procedure used in certain heart conditions to improve blood flow through a narrowed heart valve and support better circulation.

Access to timely paediatric cardiac care enabled Renius to receive the specialised treatment he required. His journey highlights the importance of making advanced cardiac care accessible to children with congenital heart conditions and the role that financial support and fundraising can play in helping families meet the cost of treatment.
