Help 2-Year-Old Nilan Undergo Urgent Open-Heart Surgery

At just two years old, Master Nilan from Krishnagiri District should be spending his days exploring, playing, and filling his home with laughter. Instead, drawing a normal, comfortable breath has been an exhausting, daily struggle for almost his entire life. When he was just three months old, severe breathing difficulty alongside a relentless cold and cough forced his anxious parents to rush him to a local clinic, where they first received the overwhelming news that Nilan was born with a congenital heart condition. Following months of evaluations across various hospitals, his condition was fully confirmed during a specialized cardiac screening camp conducted by MIOT Hospitals at the Krishnagiri Government Hospital.

Detailed clinical investigations at MIOT Hospitals revealed the dangerous reality of Nilan's condition: he is battling a Large VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) shunt, a Dysplastic Mitral Valve with Grade II Mitral Regurgitation, and Pulmonary Hypertension. The critical structural opening in his heart, combined with a severely leaking valve, causes blood to mix uncontrollably. This forces dangerous fluid pressure into his lung arteries and places a continuous, threatening strain on his entire cardiovascular system. To prevent permanent, irreversible damage to his lungs and save his life, MIOT’s expert pediatric cardiac team has advised an urgent open-heart procedure for early VSD closure and Mitral Valve Repair.

The total estimated cost for Nilan’s life-saving surgery, ICU stay, and post-operative care is ₹3,50,000/-. For his father, Mr. Cendrayan, who works as a daily-wage carpenter earning just ₹400/- a day, this sum is an impossible mountain to climb. With irregular work that often leaves him without any income for days at a time, he struggles just to meet his family's basic daily needs. The medical team at MIOT Hospitals is fully prepared to repair Nilan's heart and give him a healthy future, but his family urgently needs our collective generosity to bridge the financial gap and make his life-saving surgery possible.
