Kaviyasree, a 5-year-old child, was born with multiple serious health conditions, including Tetralogy of Fallot, aplasia of both forearms, an absent thumb, and Holt-Oram syndrome. Her father, Mr. Kailasam, works tirelessly as a carpenter, earning just Rs. 500 a day to support his family.
Kaviyasree’s condition required urgent attention: the complex heart surgery, along with treatment for the deformities in her forearms, seemed beyond reach for this struggling family. However, in the face of their difficulties, MIOT Hospitals stepped in to support Kaviyasree’s treatment.
The child was examined in the cardiac screening camp conducted by the cardiology team of MIOT Hospitals at Dharmapuri Government Hospital. The medical team planned an elective intracardiac repair surgery to treat her heart condition, a procedure that would give her a chance at a healthier life.
The cost of the procedure was Rs. 3,25,000/-. With the added responsibility of his wife’s delivery and the financial strain of daily life, Mr. Kailasam found himself unable to afford the medical treatment.
With the support of various philanthropists, the entire treatment cost was arranged. On 29.10.2024, Kaviyasree underwent the surgery, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. She is now recovering well, and her overall health has greatly improved. Kaviyasree’s journey is a powerful reminder of how community support, kindness, and medical intervention can transform lives.
