Case History: Mast. Dnyaneshwar Dhakre, a 5-year-old boy, has been diagnosed with a large atrial septal defect (ASD). This condition causes an excess of blood to overfill the lungs and strain the right side of the heart. Without treatment, the right side of the heart can weaken and enlarge, while the blood pressure in the lung arteries can increase, leading to pulmonary hypertension. Early childhood open heart surgery is recommended for patients with ostium primum and sinus venous ASD. Mast. Dnyaneshwar will undergo the operation at Balaji Heart Hospital and Diagnostic Centre in Byculla, Mumbai.

Family Background: Mast. Dnyaneshwar’s father works as a farmer, and his mother is a housewife. His father’s monthly income is only 5000/-. The family is also responsible for his younger sister. Due to the financial strain and their dependence on the father, they are unable to bear the cost of the treatment.
