Muhammad Muneeb 's Story

Muhammad Muneeb, aged 11 years, a resident of Sialkot was suffering from recurrent chest infections and dyspnea on mild exertion for the past four years. Upon cardiac assessment, he was diagnosed with ventricular septal defect (VSD). He was advised by his cardiologist to undergo open heart surgery for VSD closure. For this purpose, he was admitted to The University Of Lahore Teaching Hospital Lahore, where Dr. Faiz Rasool performed open heart surgery for VSD closure on 09.03.2021. After five days of hospital stay Muhammad Muneeb was discharged in a satisfactory condition. The surgery was conducted with the support of Pakistan Children Heart foundation and other donors. A child who has had VSD closure, requires lifelong care, an optimized lifestyle and examinations by a cardiologist. Luckily now Muhammad Muneeb is beyond the initial stage of treatment and is looking forward to a healthy life
