Kenneth Tafunai, who was born with a heart problem, will now live a long and healthy life after the 9-year-old successfully had heart surgery at the Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital.

Kenneth's father, Michael Tafunai, says he was worried about his son’s well-being, and sometimes he stayed up late at night thinking about the surgery.

He says he was happy and grateful to hear about the free surgery provided by Sai Prema Foundation.

Tafunai says since his son was born with this heart problem, Kenneth had to be taken to the hospital for medication every time he got sick.

He says they knew about the Children’s Hospital from their private doctor.

He adds the services provided by doctors and nurses at the Children’s Hospital are satisfactory and fair.
