Understanding Khushi’s Journey with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

Khushi, a vibrant and resilient young girl, was born prematurely and diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)—a common condition in preterm babies.

What is Patent Ductus Arteriosus?

In the womb, the ductus arteriosus is a vital part of a baby’s circulatory system, allowing blood to bypass the lungs, as oxygen is provided through the placenta. After birth, this opening normally closes as the baby’s lungs take over oxygen exchange.

However, in cases like Khushi’s, the ductus arteriosus remains open, creating an abnormal connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. This condition causes extra blood to flow to the lungs, leading to complications that can affect a child’s breathing and overall health.

A Journey of Care and Recovery

When Khushi’s condition was brought to the attention of PG Care Foundation, immediate steps were taken to ensure she received the specialized care she needed. The foundation worked closely with her medical team to provide the necessary treatment, giving Khushi the best chance at a healthy and happy life.

Khushi’s story is a testament to the resilience of children and the power of timely intervention. At PG Care Foundation, we are dedicated to supporting children like Khushi, ensuring they have access to life-saving treatments and a brighter future.
