Azmat Ali's Story

Meet Azmat Ali, an 11-year-old brave boy from Dera Ghazi Khan, who has been battling shortness of breath, fatigue, palpitations, and chest discomfort since birth. Due to his illness, he isn’t able to grow and play like other kids of his age. His parents consulted a doctor about Azmat’s condition. The doctor conducted some medical tests and diagnosed Azmat with moderate Secundum ASD, and right ventricular volume overload (RVVO). Secundum ASD is an abnormal opening between the upper heart’s chambers because of failure of the separation wall to develop. Upon evaluation, the doctor advised an ASD closure device to save Azmat’s heart. However, the cost of the procedure is overwhelming for Azmat’s family.

If left untreated, Azmat’s heart illness can potentially lead to life-threatening complications and ultimately cause death. His condition has affected his social interactions, lifestyle, daily activities, and quality of life. Azmat avoids playing with kids as he becomes tired easily.

Azmat lives in a one-room rented mud house with his six family members. His father, the sole breadwinner in the family, works as a daily wage laborer and brings in just PKR 25000 monthly. The monthly rent of the house amounts to PKR 2500. Moreover, the family is burdened with a staggering loan of PKR 600,000. With their insufficient monthly income, paying for the costly surgery is impossible for his family.

Azmat’s parents said in despair:

“Our son has been battling his illness for a long time. We are heartbroken to see him struggling, but we are unable to give him a healthy life. We want you to support our son and save his life.”

Not only will the ASD closure surgery repair the abnormal opening in his heart but also improve his participation in daily activities, leading to better health outcomes.
