At just six months old, Tanmay Gupta began showing a worrying sign—repeated episodes of bluish discoloration.
Concerned about their little baby, his parents took him to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital for medical evaluation.
Further assessment revealed that Tanmay had Critical Pulmonary Stenosis (PS), a serious congenital heart defect that required urgent specialized cardiac care.
Recognizing the severity of his condition, Tanmay was referred to Child Heart Foundation (CHF) for further management.
At Child Heart Foundation, Tanmay underwent further evaluation, where his diagnosis of Critical Pulmonary Stenosis was confirmed.
Pulmonary Stenosis occurs when the pathway that allows blood to flow from the heart toward the lungs is narrowed. In severe or critical cases, timely specialized cardiac intervention may be required.
Considering Tanmay’s condition, the medical team advised that his treatment should not be delayed.
For his parents, hearing that their six-month-old baby needed urgent cardiac intervention was frightening. But there was another major challenge—the cost of specialized treatment.
Tanmay comes from a low-income family, with his father serving as the sole earning member.
The cost of specialized pediatric cardiac treatment was beyond what the family could manage on their own.
They wanted to provide their baby with the care he urgently needed, but their limited financial resources made arranging the treatment extremely difficult.
After reviewing the family’s required documents, Child Heart Foundation stepped forward with financial support, helping remove a major barrier between Tanmay and his treatment.
With support from Child Heart Foundation, Tanmay was admitted to Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, on 12 August 2026 for the required cardiac intervention.
For his family, reaching the hospital for specialized treatment brought much-needed hope after the fear surrounding their baby’s diagnosis.
CHF’s timely support helped ensure that financial hardship did not prevent Tanmay from accessing the critical pediatric cardiac care recommended by his doctors.
Tanmay’s journey highlights why early recognition and timely referral are especially important for babies with critical congenital heart defects.
Repeated bluish discoloration can be an important warning sign that requires appropriate medical evaluation. In Tanmay’s case, diagnosis at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, referral to CHF, and timely access to specialized cardiac care helped his family move forward when their baby needed treatment.
For Tanmay’s parents, CHF’s support meant more than financial assistance.
It meant accessing critical care without further delay.
It meant finding support when the cost of treatment felt impossible.
It meant replacing fear with renewed hope.
And it meant giving their six-month-old heart warrior a better chance for the future.
Child Heart Foundation works to help underprivileged children with congenital heart defects access timely diagnosis, specialized pediatric cardiac care, life-saving treatment, and continued follow-up support.
