The thought of bringing a child into the world is now not only filled with happiness but phases of fear, anxiety and protective angst. Particularly when the threat percep- tion of other diseases over the newborn looms large, like Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). It’s common among infants and is caused by a structural defect in the heart. Keeping in mind the urgent need to treat children suffering from CHD, Heart To Heart Foundation (H2H), a non-profit organisation, is providing free pedi- atric cardiac surgeries across the world even in the middle of the pandemic. In India, it has partnered with the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre for Child Heart Care and Research. One of the recent cases is about Ayush Kumar, son of Pawan Kumar Giri, who is a labourer from Bihar. He and wife Punita had their first and only child, Ayush, in 2015. While they were still celebrat- ing the happiness of a newborn child in their lives, they got to know that their little one was suffering from Congenital Heart Disease. Given that the information on the subject is so less, Pawan and Punita were thrown out of their family home due to the child’s severe con- dition and had to struggle finding an affordable treatment solution. In March, they were informed about the treatment. After formal check- up, the child was admitted for immediate surgery. However, @+ -/ /4( + uncertainty struck again as the lockdown was announced.
