The girls, two-year-old Staish Azad Khalil and seven-year-old Naveen Yaseen, were critical and would not have survived long without medical attention, doctors said, reported PTI.
Upon their arrival recently to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (SGRH) from Erbil, where they were living in a camp for internally displaced people, the children were evaluated, the hospital said in a statement.

“Staish was found to have a seriously malformed heart condition where half of the heart was missing congenitally due to which there was shortage of oxygen in her body. She was frequently turning blue and had a hard time breathing properly,” the statement said.

“On July 22, Dr Raja Joshi, Chairman, Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and his team of doctors performed the first stage of complex repair of heart,” the hospital said.
The statement said Staish now has safe levels of oxygen in the body and normal breathing. She will come back for second and last stage of surgery after four years.
She is now ready to fly back to Iraq for celebrating Eid with her family.
