Specialist Baby Care
A young baby being cared for in a children’s home needed life-saving heart surgery. The Provincial Children’s Commissioner approached Brighter Path to explain that a leading surgeon at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children in Colombo was willing to perform the operation if funding was in place for a specialist nurse to care for the child afterwards. Since November 2024 Brighter Path has been providing the necessary funding for 24 hour care from a specialist nurse. We are delighted that this young baby is making excellent progress following her operation.
