Rishav Kumar – A Pediatric Heart Success Story
Master Rishav Kumar, a 5-and-a-half-month-old baby boy, was born with a congenital heart condition. Shortly after birth, he developed jaundice, followed by severe fever and diarrhoea at around one month of age. Concerned about his health, his parents, Mr. Chandan Kumar and Mrs. Manitha Kumari, took him to a private hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease.
Unable to afford the specialised treatment, the family sought guidance and eventually brought Rishav to MIOT Hospitals for further evaluation and treatment.
Detailed investigations revealed a Large Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) with a significant shunt and severe Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. Considering the severity of his condition, the cardiac team recommended surgical intervention involving VSD closure and Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure.
The estimated cost of surgery and necessary medical care was ₹4,00,000/-. However, Rishav’s father, Mr. Chandan Kumar, works as a carpenter and earns approximately ₹700 per day when work is available. As the sole earning member of the family, arranging the required medical expenses was beyond their financial capacity.
With the generous support of compassionate donors, the required funds were successfully raised, bringing immense relief to Rishav’s family and enabling him to receive the treatment he needed at MIOT Hospitals.
On 26 October 2026, Master Rishav Kumar successfully underwent cardiac surgery at MIOT Hospitals. Following treatment and post-operative care, he made a good recovery and was discharged on 3 November 2026. His successful treatment marks an important milestone in his journey towards a healthier future, bringing immense relief and happiness to his family.
