Girl gets heart surgery thanks to generous donors

Ariana and Mohd Nizam are relieved that the surgery went well and they can go home.

EIGHT-year-old Nur Batrisyia Ariana Mohd Nizam has a new lease of life thanks to generous Malaysians who made her heart surgery possible through Star Foundation’s Medical Fund programme.

Ariana, who was diagnosed with ventricular septal defect (VSD) at birth, underwent successful surgery to prevent her condition from getting worse and enable her to live like other children.
