It was a joyous day for two Vanuatu mothers after witnessing their daughters given a new gift of life as they underwent free heart surgeries at the Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital in Nasese.
The two girls, who are both 7-months-old, are now in good health after the operation.
Merian Bob, the mother of 7-month-old Stephalin Holay, says after delivering her daughter, she noticed that she was having difficulties in breathing.
Bob says after doctors from Vanuatu conducted an X-ray, they found that her daughter had a defective heart and advised her that Sai Sanjeevani Children's Heart Hospital could perform surgery on her daughter.
She also commends the staff at the hospital for the service that was given to her and her daughter during their stay.
