Unfortunate: Baby given date for heart surgery in 2024 by AIIMS
They asked us to deposit Rs 57,000 but gave us a date for surgery in February 2024, citing long waiting period. We cannot wait for so long as our daughter is in a lot of pain- Ajay Kumar
New Delhi: Three-month-old Nancy, who was given a date for heart surgery in February 2024 by the AIIMS, will now undergo an operation next week at a private hospital after her parents approached the Heart Care Foundation of India (HCFI) for help.
Nancy has a hole in her heart and required an urgent surgery, a senior HCFI official said.
According to her father, Ajay Kumar, a resident of Faridabad, the baby had a cough and breathing problems following which she was admitted at Safdarjung hospital where she was diagnosed with large VSD with severe pulmonary artery hypertension.
Safdarjung authorities advised Nancy's family to take her to AIIMS for surgery following which they visited the premier hospital mid-October.
