Saving Tiny Heart: 6-Month-Old Baby’s Successful Heart Surgery in India
Name: Aviel Ayamba
Native Country: Uganda
Treatment: Pediatric cardiac surgery
Hospital: Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon
Doctor: Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev
Congenital heart disease occurs from birth and requires extra attention and immediate treatment. To address one of the same disorders, Aviel Ayamba, aged 6 months, came to India with his parents from Uganda. Aviel was born with an AV (atrioventricular) canal defect, a congenital heart condition that affects the heart’s valves and chambers, leading to improper blood flow.
Concerned about his condition, the parents started looking for a country that provides effective, yet affordable treatment options. Their search ultimately led them to India, a leading country known as a medical hub. To make the process easy, they connected to Medsurge India, a prominent medical tourism company that assists international patients with hospital selection, doctor consultations, e-visa assistance, and travel logistics.
Our team connected with them and understood the situation clearly. To provide them complete assurance, we also arranged a video consultation with Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev, a leading pediatric cardiologist, from Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurgaon.
Dr. Sachdev explained the possible treatment options, recovery time, and necessary precautions. Following his guidance, the family traveled to India for the procedure.
Under Dr. Sachdev’s expertise, Aviel underwent AV canal defect surgery, which was successfully performed. The procedure restored normal heart function and set him on a path to healthy growth.
Expressing her gratitude, Aviel’s mother said:
“This surgery has truly changed our lives. We are grateful to Dr. Manvinder Singh Sachdev and Medsurge India for making the journey smooth and ensuring my child’s health.”
Aviel’s story highlights the life-changing impact of advanced pediatric cardiac care in India. We wish him and his family a healthy, happy, and fulfilling future.
