Story:

Ashrina Udai is 4 years old female living with her mother and grandmother as refugees in Syria. The child was diagnosed with large Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) of the heart that required a surgical repair.

The child was taken to Amman, Jordan where she underwent her first operation of dental care under general anesthesia followed by an open heart surgery where the defect is repaired using her own pericardium.

Ashurina went through smooth recovery and is currently in convalescence prior to her departure back to Syria.

The AMS-MRP is deeply indebted to Gift of Life Amman –GOLA for their excellent and compassionate care, particularly Mr. Rudy Habesch, Dr. Fadi Khoury and Dr. Khaled Salaymeh. We also would like to thank all of the volunteers in Amman for their invaluable assistance for this family during this critical time
