Baby Shambhu Nitin Naik, just 11 months old, has been diagnosed with a serious heart condition – Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) of 6 mm with left-to-right shunt. This condition means there is a hole in the wall separating the heart’s lower chambers, causing abnormal blood flow and putting immense strain on his tiny heart.
Doctors at KIMS Manavata Hospital, Nashik have advised urgent VSD Surgical Closure to save his life. The estimated cost of surgery, PICU care, and hospitalization is Rs 2,75,000, an amount far beyond the reach of his family.
Shambhu’s father is a farmer, struggling to provide for his family with limited means. With their poor socio-economic background, affording such a costly treatment is impossible without support.
