Aisha’s Journey to Recovery

At six months old, Aisha was diagnosed with multiple congenital heart defects. Her condition made breathing, feeding, and growth difficult and without surgery, her life was at risk.

In May 2025, she received free, life-saving surgery through our Pediatric Cardiothoracic Program in Lagos. The results were immediate: her breathing stabilized, she gained weight, and began to thrive.

Aisha’s story is one of hope made possible by compassion and expert care. With your support, we can help more children like her.

We’re laying the foundation for Nigeria’s first dedicated Pediatric Cardiac Hospital, a permanent center of excellence for children with congenital heart defects.

This hospital will provide access to timely diagnosis, surgeries, and continuous care for children who need it most. It’s more than a building, it’s a future where no child dies from a treatable heart condition.

Join us in making this vision a reality. Together, we can save more little hearts.

How You Can Help as a Non-Medical Person

You don’t need a stethoscope to make a life-saving impact. As a non-medical supporter, your role is just as vital. Here’s how you can help:

1. Share Information: Talk about congenital heart defects (CHDs) with friends, family, or on social media. Education saves lives.

2. Donate: Every contribution helps fund surgeries, outreach, and supplies for children in need. https://hospitalsforhumanity.org/donate/

3. Volunteer: From logistics to storytelling, your time and skills can serve countless families. https://hospitalsforhumanity.org/volunteer-opportunities/

4. Advocate: Speak up for better heart care policies and services in your community.

5. Amplify Our Voice: Simply reposting our stories helps us reach more people who care.

Change doesn’t only happen in operating rooms. It happens in conversations, communities, and the courage to care.

How Pulse Oximetry Helps Detect CHDs

Pulse oximetry is a simple, painless test that measures the oxygen level in the blood. It's commonly used in medical care to monitor heart and lung function.

For newborns, it’s an important tool for screening critical congenital heart defects (CCHDs), sometimes even before symptoms appear. A small sensor placed on the baby’s hand or foot checks oxygen saturation. Low levels may indicate a heart problem that needs further evaluation.

Why Surgery Isn’t Always Immediate

Some children diagnosed with congenital heart defects don’t need surgery right away. Doctors may choose to monitor the condition over time until the heart is stronger or symptoms change. This careful timing ensures the safest and most effective intervention.

Every case is different, and waiting can sometimes be the best care.
It’s important to keep regular appointments with your child’s doctor to understand the condition and know when the right time for treatment may be.

Understanding Congenital Heart Defects (CHDs) and Their Early Signs

A Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is a problem with how the heart is formed—present from birth. It can affect how blood flows through the heart and body. Some defects are minor and require no treatment, but others may need surgery. Early detection is key.

Watch for signs in babies such as:
1. Blue lips or fingernails
2. Rapid breathing
3. Poor feeding
4. Excessive sweating during feeds

These symptoms may point to an undiagnosed heart defect. If you notice any of them, consult a doctor right away. Awareness saves lives.
