Mokith – A Pediatric Heart Success Story
Mokith, a 2-year-old boy from Tiruvallur District, was born with a congenital heart condition. When he was just two months old, his parents, Mrs. Shankari and Mr. Chinnaraj, noticed that he was not gaining weight adequately. Concerned about his health, they sought medical attention at various hospitals, where doctors diagnosed him with a serious heart condition.
With the guidance of a Village Health Nurse, the family attended a free cardiac screening camp conducted by MIOT Hospitals at the Government Hospital, Tiruvallur. Following the initial evaluation, Mokith was referred to MIOT Hospitals for further investigations 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 early surgical intervention involving VSD closure and Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) division.
The estimated cost of surgery and necessary medical care was ₹3,00,000/-. However, Mokith’s father, Mr. Chinnaraj, works as a painter, earning approximately ₹600 per day through irregular employment. 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 Mokith’s family and enabling him to receive the treatment he needed at MIOT Hospitals.
On 10 October 2026, Master Mokith successfully underwent cardiac surgery at MIOT Hospitals. Following treatment and post-operative care, he made a good recovery and was discharged in good health on 16 October 2026. His successful treatment brought immense relief and happiness to his family.
