Every parent wishes for their child to be healthy and fit. The same was true for Mercyline Masilo, the 40-year-old mother of Nicole from Zimbabwe. Her daughter Nicole had a congenital heart disease (Atrioventricular Septal Defect).

She was having symptoms of AVSD (heart defect), such as heavy breathing, trouble exercising, sweating, and blue skin color due to low oxygen levels.

The mother started looking online for options for her outside her home country, and that's when she came across Vaidam. She dropped a query on our website, and we assigned her a case manager.

Upon evaluating the reports, the doctor suggested that the mother bring her child to India for a thorough evaluation and better treatment.

They both came to India and consulted Dr. Krishna Subramony Iyer, a Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon with 30 years of experience. He advised that the child get AVSD Repair Surgery, which was successfully performed at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi. It was highly recommended that the patient return after 9 to 12 months for a health checkup to see if any complications arise.

They spent around 7 days in India and returned to their home country after. They were highly delighted with our services.

We wish the little warrior a speedy recovery!
