Asviya – A Pediatric Heart Success Story
Asviya, a 16-year-old girl from Medavakkam, Chennai, is studying in Class XI at a Government School. Although she had no noticeable symptoms, doctors suspected a cardiac condition during a health camp conducted at her school. She was subsequently referred to a free cardiac screening camp conducted by MIOT Hospitals at Kilpauk Medical College Hospital for further evaluation.
Detailed investigations at MIOT Hospitals revealed a Large Ostium Secundum Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), a hole between the upper chambers of the heart. Considering her condition, the medical team recommended an ASD device closure procedure to correct the defect and prevent potential long-term complications.
The estimated cost of the procedure and necessary medical care was ₹2,00,000/-. However, Asviya’s father, Mr. Siraj, works as a daily-wage labourer and earns approximately ₹500 per day through irregular employment. Her mother, Mrs. Nasreen, is a homemaker with hearing impairment, while her grandmother works as a maid to support 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 Asviya’s family and enabling her to receive the treatment she needed at MIOT Hospitals.
On 27 October 2026, Asviya successfully underwent an ASD device closure procedure at MIOT Hospitals. Following treatment and post-operative care, she made a good recovery and was discharged in good health on 28 October 2026. Her successful treatment marks an important milestone in her journey towards a healthier future, allowing her to look forward to continuing her education and pursuing her dreams.
