Mari was a vibrant 5-year-old girl, full of life, laughter, and curiosity. She lived in a close-knit gypsy community with her parents, Elango and Pushpa, who were bead sellers and honey collectors. They traveled from town to town, sharing their crafts and honey, and Mari’s days were filled with the colors of the beads and the sweetness of the honeycomb.

However, Mari’s life took a difficult turn when she began showing signs of illness. She often felt tired, her skin turned pale, and sometimes she would struggle to breathe. Her parents, who had already lost their elder son due to a heart condition, were filled with fear and uncertainty. They didn’t know what was happening to Mari, but they knew it was something serious. They couldn’t bear the thought of losing another child.

Feeling helpless, they searched for answers, but in their small village, no one knew how to help. It was then that they heard about a cardiac screening camp being organized by MIOT Hospitals in a nearby town. The camp offered heart screenings, especially for children, and they decided to take Mari there, hoping for a solution.

At the camp, the doctors immediately noticed Mari’s symptoms and conducted a thorough examination. They diagnosed her with Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect that required immediate medical attention. Mari’s parents were devastated by the diagnosis, but the doctors at MIOT assured them that with proper treatment, she could lead a healthy life. They recommended transferring Mari to MIOT Hospital for further treatment.

With a mix of fear and hope, Elango and Pushpa agreed to take Mari to MIOT Hospitals. There, the expert medical team evaluated Mari’s condition and recommended elective surgery—an intra-cardiac repair procedure.

Mari’s surgery was a success, and within weeks, she began to show remarkable improvement. Her energy returned, her skin regained its healthy color, and her laughter filled their home once again. Her parents were overjoyed and incredibly grateful for the life-saving care that Mari received at MIOT Hospital.

Today, Mari is a healthy and energetic child, playing with other children. Her parents are forever thankful to the doctors and staff at MIOT Hospital for giving their daughter a second chance at life.
