Baby Njoku was diagnosed with an atrial septal defect, which is a condition in which the patient had a hole in their heart.

Njoku’s parents explored treatment option in Nigeria, but most hospitals there did not have the technology to handle such a complicated case. So, baby’s mother decided to seek medical treatment from India.

She contacted Dr NS Devananda, one of the top cardiac surgeons in India, at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore, who thoroughly studied his case, and decided to treat his congenital heart defect by performing an ASD Closure treatment.

The heart surgery was performed, and the patient was treated successfully. Now baby Njoku is growing normally, with a healthy heart and body.     

Njoku’s mother is very thankful of the Dr NS Devananda, and Manipal Hospital for giving her son a second chance. She is very satisfied with the services delivered to her family during their stay.
