Ana Tanveer Abdullah

Ana Tanveer Abdullah's journey illustrates how profound loss can spark transformative change. When Ana's brother Danial collapsed unexpectedly at age 15, no one suspected a heart condition. Despite receiving a pacemaker after being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, Danial passed away at 16 while awaiting a heart transplant in India.

Together with her father and Farhan Ahmad (who lost a child to CHD), Ana founded the Pakistan Children's Heart Foundation with an ambitious vision: to build the country's first specialized cardiac hospital for children. Innovative fundraising campaigns inspired by Danial, they've now achieved their dream.

The Children's Heart Hospital opens in Lahore this April. Now, Pakistani families will not need to seek expensive treatment abroad. Beyond the physical facility, their "Project by Danial" trains young cardiologists and surgeons specifically in pediatric cardiac care, ensuring healthcare improvements throughout the country.
