Ba couple, Razeela Ali and Saheban Ali, who are parents of 5-month-old Aayat Ayiza Ali are overjoyed that their daughter has been given a new lease of life after a successful heart surgery at Sai Prema Hospital.

Aayat’s father, Saheban Ali says all their sleepless nights and worries about his daughter’s life has come to an end.

He says they came to know about their daughter’s medical condition when they took her to Ba Hospital for a clinic and the doctor told them that their baby has a hole in her heart.

He further says they felt really sad when the doctor informed them that there is no cure for the heart condition.

The father says he came to know about Sai Prema through social media when he was struggling to get help from whoever was keen to help.

He advises parents who are facing the same issues to bring their children over to Sai Prema for heart screening, and also to make use of the services when it is free.
