FutureNet Foundation – Myat Phone Thinkha

Myat Phone Thinkha is only one year old. He comes from Kawa City in Burma. He is suffering from two congenital heart conditions.

Shortly after his birth he seemed healthy. But over time he did not gain weight and his skin was blue. His parents started looking for help. The diagnosis of the doctors was a serious heart disease. The boy is frequently tired. His lips, face and finger tips also turn blue whenever he cries.

“I want him to be a doctor someday. We did not get the chance to study at a good school and that’s why we didn’t notice Myat’s health problem. We hope he will grow up to be able to help others” – said his father.
