Nikita

A less privileged family in Chhattisgarh celebrated the birth of a baby girl after a 5-year-old son. However, very soon the baby Nikita (name changed) was having breathing difficulty and often turning blue. The family soon discovered Nikita had a life-threatening congenital heart problem and needed a pediatric cardiac surgery which is very critical and expensive. Despite financial challenges, the determined father sought help from a renowned Kolkata hospital. Ekam Foundation Mumbai stepped in to support the expensive surgeries, Arterial Switch and VSD Closure, saving four-month-old Nikita’s life in March 2021. The family is deeply grateful for the assistance that granted their daughter a painless and healthy new life.
