A Malaysian boy with congenital heart disease will receive operations at National Taiwan
MayCham members and the boy’s family
University Children’s Hospital.
The two-year-old boy was diagnosed with the disease when he was born in May 2016. Not only are his left and right ventricles in opposite directions, his other organs such as liver and spleen are not in the right place either.
The boy underwent surgery in Taiwan last year. He checked into the hospital Monday to prepare for the next stage of operations.
To help cover his medical costs, the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MayCham) in Taipei has given the boy and his family US$4,500 and other assistance. The funding drive was initiated by MayCham President K. C. Lau. [FULL STORY]
