They are suffering from Tetralogy of Fallot, a complex congenital condition. Their surgeries will be done in phases, and the first phase is scheduled to be completed soon.”

Dr. Sultan emphasized that AFIC has treated many similar cases and added, “In my opinion, there’s no need to send such children abroad. We have successfully handled many complex pediatric heart surgeries here.”
