It’s a common misconception that congenital heart disease always shows symptoms at birth. This misunderstanding can cause parents to overlook early warning signs and delay essential care.

The truth is, not all congenital heart diseases are obvious from day one. Some only appear months or even years later, which is why continuous learning and up-to-date clinical knowledge are so important.

Platforms like the MPCS scientific meeting bring paediatric experts together to share insights, strengthen early detection, and advance evidence-based care. Through the IJN Foundation’s Educational and Training Programmes, we are committed to empowering clinicians to stay at the forefront of paediatric and congenital cardiac care.

This aligns with SDG 16 in building strong, reliable healthcare institutions and SDG 17 in fostering impactful partnerships that improve health outcomes. Together, we help ensure that children with CHD can grow, thrive, and lead a better quality of life.

If you want to help drive progress in paediatric cardiology, your contribution can start today.

Her father, 37, works as a motorcycle mechanic and also supports her grandfather. Her mother, 33, works as an administrative assistant. Together, they dedicate themselves to caring for their daughter.

She was born with a complex heart condition that required urgent medical intervention to keep blood flowing to her lungs. Her major surgery, the Rastelli procedure, was successfully performed, and she has shown signs of swift recovery. The following year, she underwent a minor surgery to remove sternal wires.

Her parents, barely making enough to support the family, were relieved when the Patient Assistance Programme, made possible by generous donors of the IJN Foundation, helped cover the cost of her care.

Let’s continue the mission and save more underprivileged children with congenital heart disease. Every child deserves a chance at a happy and healthy childhood.

Meet Jajay, the eldest of his siblings and now a bright, energetic 9-year-old. His father, 40, works as a general labourer in a factory, while his mother, 26, stays home to care for their young family.

Jajay was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at birth, and his family has been closely monitoring his condition ever since.

Earlier this year, when he was referred to IJN, Jajay arrived in a worrying state. He was already turning blue from low oxygen, and with his history of Tetralogy of Fallot, doctors found that the vessels to his lungs were underdeveloped. His little body had even formed extra, irregular vessels just to keep him alive, making his condition far more complex and demanding careful, urgent planning by the medical team.

Given the urgency, he was quickly scheduled for the open-heart surgery to improve blood flow to his lungs and restore healthier oxygen levels.

Today, Jajay has made a full recovery. He’s back in school, active, cheerful, and stronger than ever. Truly, a testament of how generous support holds the power of timely medical care and a family’s love and perseverance.

Your support helps children like Jajay receive life-changing treatment and a chance at a healthy, happy childhood. Together, we can continue to bring hope to families in need.

Etlissya comes from a humble family. Her father, 37, works hard doing manual labour to provide for them, while her mother, 34, cares for their home and their four young children.

She was diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease, a condition that developed after she contracted rheumatic fever. The illness damaged her heart valves, leading to severe mitral regurgitation over the years, forcing her heart to work much harder than it should.

Thanks to the support from the IJN Foundation through the Patient Assistance Programme, Etlissya can now focus on her recovery and return to school with renewed hope.

Her story is a reminder of the resilience of young hearts and the importance of awareness, prevention, and access to care. This is key to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. Together, we can ensure every child has the chance to grow up healthy and strong.

Two-year-old Muizz may be small in size, but his strength is beyond measure. The youngest of two siblings, he lives with his parents in staff quarters provided by his father’s workplace. With his dad working as a storekeeper and his mum as a clerk, the family works hard to make ends meet, all while caring for a child with a serious heart condition.

Muizz was born with a complex congenital heart defect that severely affected the flow of oxygen-rich blood in his tiny body. In March 2024, Muizz underwent a stenting procedure, which is a critical temporary step to improve blood flow to his lungs and stabilise his condition.

More recently, he bravely went through a major corrective surgery that closed the hole in his heart and widened the narrowed passage to his lungs, giving him a stronger heartbeat and a brighter future.

The emotional and financial toll on his young parents was heavy. But thanks to the IJN Foundation’s Patient Assistance Programme, Muizz received the life-saving care he desperately needed.

Today, Muizz’s smile tells a story of courage, hope, and the power of compassion. Because of your generosity, he has a second chance at life.

At just 9 years old, Shasha has already endured more than most of us face in a lifetime.

Born into a humble family, Shasha is the second youngest of four siblings. Her father, 46, works as a rubber tapper with no fixed income, while her mother, 40, juggles housework and part-time tapping. Both are doing their best to provide for their children despite immense financial hardship.

From birth, Shasha was diagnosed with a severe congenital heart disease that left her right ventricle underdeveloped and her blood circulating incorrectly, depriving her body of oxygen. She underwent multiple major heart surgeries. Despite these procedures, her condition remains complex. Just recently, she was admitted to the hospital twice with pulmonary edema.

Yet through it all, Shasha remains brave, smiling, and strong. Her family’s financial struggles make it nearly impossible to afford the urgent medical care she needs. But thanks to the generous donors through the IJN Foundation’s Patient Assistance Programme, Shasha has a fighting chance and a glimpse of the childhood every child deserves.

Without this support, her story might have been very different.
Your compassion helps children like Shasha keep going.
