Congenital Heart Defect Treatment Without Open-Heart Surgery | Patient Testimonial

Tanisha Akhter became seriously ill at the age of four, and her weight was not increasing as expected. Following a medical evaluation, an echocardiogram (ECHO) revealed that she had a congenital heart defect (a hole in the heart). When Tanisha's condition became more severe at the age of eight, her father brought her to Evercare Hospital Chattogram for specialized treatment under the care of Dr. Tahera Nazrin, Senior Consultant & Coordinator, Department of Paediatric Cardiology. After a thorough assessment, Dr. Tahera Nazrin advised that Tanisha's condition could be treated through a minimally invasive device closure procedure, eliminating the need for open-heart surgery. As the family was facing financial hardship, Dr. Tahera Nazrin also arranged a free cardiac device to ensure the child received the treatment she needed. Today, Tanisha is healthy and doing well. In this patient story, her father shares their journey and experience of receiving compassionate, life-changing care at Evercare Hospital Chattogram.
