Malaysian kids doing well after surgery in Bangalore
Kuala Lumpur: Two
Malaysian children with heart ailments are recuperating
well after undergoing successful surgeries at the Narayana
Hrudayalaya Institute of Cardiac Sciences in Bangalore
on December 11. The kids, Ang Xiao Xuan, 3, from Penang
and Maisaiyida Mohmad Afandi, 6, of Johor, would most
probably return home in two weeks. And another 10-year-old
patient, Muhammad Khairul Shahrizat from Pekan, Pahang,
will be undergoing surgery tomorrow (Dec 16). "They are
doing fine after the operation. We took about two to four
hours to complete the main operation," The New Straits
Online quoted Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairman of the Narayana
Hrudayalaya Institute as saying. Malaysian Health Ministry
has been sending children with congenital heart diseases
to India for surgery, as the treatment in India is cheaper
and the waiting period is much shorter compared with hospitals
in Kuala Lumpur. Since the last eight months, 22 children
have been operated in the Bangalore hospital, where the
surgery cost is half that of the cost in Malaysia. The
premier heart hospital offers an integrated healthcare,
and almost 20 per cent of the total heart patients treated
here are foreigners.
