This cannot wait

Her body cannot sustain the fluid pressure building in her heart and lungs. The AVSD repair cannot wait.

At just 3 months and 20 days old, little baby Miracline Riana is facing an incredibly heavy medical battle for her life. Born with Downs syndrome, her arrival brought immense love to her family, but it was quickly followed by a terrifying medical diagnosis. Following a comprehensive evaluation at the MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care in Chennai, doctors discovered that she is suffering from a severe congenital heart condition called a Complete balanced AV septal defect. This defect means there is a critical structural hole in the center of her tiny heart, causing oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix uncontrollably, placing an exhausting, dangerous strain on her lungs and cardiovascular system.


The clock is ticking rapidly for her survival. She has been advised to undergo an Early surgery — AVSD repair to structurally correct and rebuild her heart pathways. Without this urgent surgical intervention, her fragile body will not be able to sustain the constant, overwhelming fluid pressure building up in her heart and lungs.


For her father, Mr. V Ravichandran, the total estimated cost of ₹4,50,000/-—which covers the critical surgery, ICU, hospital stay, post-operative investigations, and medications—is an impossible mountain to climb alone. Her family is completely stranded, forced to watch their baby girl struggle to breathe. The elite medical team at MIOT Hospitals is entirely prepared to save her, but they need our collective support to bridge the financial gap and give little Miracline her right to grow up.
