Eva noted that while the SOSHF has been successful in its ongoing mission to provide life-saving surgeries for children with congenital heart defects, the escalating costs of such medical procedures remain a major challenge.
“SOSHF has successfully sent 10 patients in 2023 with the highest cost on one patient at RM93,579.70 where she had to undergo a second surgery to install a pacemaker to help for her heart,” she said.
