Jeevitha S. – A Pediatric Heart Success Story
Jeevitha, a 7-year-old girl from Krishnagiri District, is studying in Class IV at a Government School. Although she showed no noticeable symptoms, her congenital heart condition was suspected during a routine health check-up conducted at her school. She was referred to a free cardiac screening camp conducted by MIOT Hospitals at the Government Hospital, Krishnagiri. Following the initial evaluation, she was referred to MIOT Hospitals for further investigations and treatment.
Detailed investigations revealed a Unicuspid Aortic Valve with Severe Aortic Stenosis, a serious congenital heart condition that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. Considering the severity of her condition, the cardiac team recommended a Ross procedure, a complex surgical intervention to improve blood flow and support her heart function.
The estimated cost of surgery and necessary medical care was ₹4,50,000/-. However, Jeevitha’s father, Mr. Saminathan, works as a daily-wage agricultural labourer with an irregular income. Arranging the substantial medical expenses was beyond the family’s financial capacity.
With the generous support of compassionate donors, the required funds were successfully raised, bringing immense relief to Jeevitha and her family.
On 27 October 2026, Jeevitha successfully underwent the Ross procedure at MIOT Hospitals. Following treatment and post-operative care, she made a good recovery and was discharged in good health on 3 November 2026. Her successful treatment marks an important milestone in her journey towards a healthier future, bringing immense happiness and relief to her family.
