Syawal is a month to celebrate our collective success, reunite with loved ones near and far, and embrace the spirit of forgiveness. As we enjoy these festive moments, may this season remind us of our many blessings and the vital importance of extending generosity to those around us.

While many celebrate in joy, some underprivileged heart patients remain on their journey to recovery and may not be able to spend Hari Raya with their families. This Raya, let our gratitude inspire acts of kindness and compassion. Through the Patient Assistance Programme, your contributions bring hope to underprivileged heart patients awaiting life-saving treatment.

May this Hari Raya remind us that together, our compassion can help mend hearts and bring healing where it is needed most.

At 47, Ahmad Shafirul carries more than passengers as a driver. He carries the hopes of his family. Married with five children, he and his wife both work, each in their own workplaces, doing their best to keep their household afloat.

In 2006, Shafirul was diagnosed with a leaky mitral valve, and later with ischaemic heart disease caused by narrowed arteries. He underwent an angiogram in 2023 and recovered. Recently, he was unable to ignore the lingering discomfort that continued to affect his daily life and ability to work.

Knowing he could not ignore his health any longer, Shafirul made the difficult decision to seek further treatment. The cost, however, was far beyond what his family could afford. Through the IJN Foundation Patient Assistance Programme (PAP), Shafirul was able to undergo the surgery he needed.

Today, he has been discharged and is focusing on recovery. While he is unable to return to work during his post-surgery recovery and remains on strict medication for the next six months, his heart is healing, and hope is steadily returning.

With your support, we can help more underprivileged heart patients receive the care they need, when they need it most, because their families need them just as much.

Together, we can keep hearts beating with hope.

At just 23, Norfarisha Irwayu from Melaka is a young housewife beginning life with her 26-year-old husband. Like many young couples, they live simply, holding onto dreams while managing limited means.

Norfarisha was born with a congenital heart defect known as a bicuspid aortic valve, a condition where the heart valve has only two flaps instead of three. In 2009, she suffered from infective endocarditis, which severely worsened her condition and led to significant aortic valve regurgitation despite her existing heart defect.

Over the years, her health gradually declined. Simple activities became difficult as she experienced increasing breathlessness and frequent light-headedness. Following further diagnostic tests, her condition was deemed urgent, and she needed to undergo complex open-heart surgery to save her life.

The surgery offered hope, but the cost was far beyond what the young couple could afford. Through the IJN Foundation Patient Assistance Programme, Norfarisha was able to receive life-saving treatment, made possible by the generosity of our compassionate donors.

Today, she has been discharged and continues her recovery at home. Her condition has improved significantly, and with every steady heartbeat, her future feels possible again.

Resilience is defined by the courage to love despite the odds. Congenital heart patients deserve every second chance to walk down the aisle, to build a family, and to be cherished. A medical history is not a limit on a heart’s capacity for happiness.

With your support, we can help more underprivileged heart patients receive timely care and a fair chance at healing.

We at the IJN Foundation (IJNF) wish all women a happy International Women’s Day.

Today, we celebrate women in all the roles they hold in our lives. Our mothers and grandmothers, sisters and daughters, aunts and nieces, friends and caregivers. We honour their strength, resilience, and the quiet courage they show every day.

International Women’s Day is also a reminder that women’s health matters. Every woman deserves equal access to life-saving treatment, support, and the chance to live well.

As we continue working towards reduced inequalities, we stand in support of women heart patients and their families, advocating for care that is compassionate, accessible, and inclusive. Because when women are cared for, families grow stronger and communities thrive.

Today and every day, we celebrate women and the hearts that carry so much love, strength, and hope.

For the hearts we love.

Wishing all Muslims a meaningful and blessed Nuzul Al-Quran.

On Nuzul Al-Quran, we commemorate the revelation of the Holy Quran, a reminder of guidance, mercy, and the importance of living with compassion and purpose.

This meaningful day invites us to reflect on values that shape a just and caring society, including empathy, responsibility, and service to others.

Guided by these principles, the IJN Foundation’s Patient Assistance Programme helps support underprivileged heart patients by improving access to essential cardiac care and treatment.

As we continue sustaining the heartbeat of hope, may this day inspire reflection that leads to action and faith that strengthens our care for one another.

At 79, Ali bin Ahmad lives a quiet, modest life with his wife. Their days are simple, shared in a small flat with their son, a single father raising three young children on his own. With limited means, his son does his best to support his children while also caring for his parents’ basic needs.

One ordinary morning at the bustling Chow Kit Market, Ali suddenly felt dizzy and struggled to breathe while buying groceries. What began as a routine errand quickly turned into a medical emergency.

Ali was rushed to Institut Jantung Negara, where he underwent an emergency angioplasty and spent five days under close care. Today, he is recovering at home. Even short walks leave him exhausted, so he rests most of the day, getting up only to bathe, eat, and perform his prayers.

His journey is a reminder that heart disease does not discriminate by age, income, or circumstance. For families already facing financial strain, access to timely treatment can mean the difference between despair and hope.

At IJN Foundation, we believe that no one should be denied life-saving heart care because of financial hardship. By reducing inequalities and widening access to healthcare, we help patients like Ali receive the treatment they urgently need.

Together, we can give more underprivileged heart patients a fair chance to heal. Your support can turn moments of crisis into stories of hope.
Join us in making a difference.

Festive gatherings and the Ramadan season bring moments of togetherness, reflection, and shared meals. As we break fast and celebrate, practising moderation helps protect your heart.

Breaking fast with excessive sugary drinks, fried foods, or large portions can cause sudden spikes in blood sugar and place added strain on the heart. Choosing balanced meals, starting with lighter foods, staying hydrated, and eating mindfully can support healthier blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall heart function.

Aligned with SDG 3, IJN Foundation shares simple heart-healthy tips through our preventive programmes, helping people make better choices and care for their hearts every day.

By eating in moderation during Ramadan and the festive season, we care for our hearts while honouring the spirit of the month.

After years of building for others as a construction worker, Baharudin now faces a journey of healing for himself. A retired husband and father of four, his life has not been without health challenges, including hypertension, type 2 diabetes with diabetic nephropathy, and dyslipidaemia.

When he was diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, a condition where the heart struggles to pump blood effectively, timely treatment became critical. He was admitted to IJN and successfully underwent a coronary angiogram and angioplasty.

Today, he has been discharged in a stable condition, carrying not just a stronger heart, but renewed hope for him and his family.

At IJN Foundation, we believe every heart deserves a fair chance to heal, regardless of financial circumstances. By reducing inequalities, we help underprivileged patients access the care they need when it matters most.

Join us in creating hope, one heartbeat at a time.

Salam Ramadhan Mubarak from all of us at the IJN Foundation (IJNF).

Wishing all Muslims a blessed month of fulfilling their fasting, filled with reflection, patience, and gratitude. It is a time to quiet the heart, strengthen faith, and turn our intentions toward what truly matters.

In this sacred month, your generosity can make a real difference for underprivileged heart patients and their families. And because Ramadan is a time of fasting and reflection, we are also continuing a special initiative to provide Suhoor and Iftar meal packs to caregivers who stay by the bedside of their loved ones, easing a small part of their daily burden during this holy month.

Your support gives another lease of life, a humble meal, and a better quality of care. One less worry. More time where it matters most.

If you would like to contribute to our Shared Blessings Ramadan Initiatives, please feel free to inquire further with us.

Ramadan is a season of compassion, shared in the quiet moments. 🌙

At IJN Foundation, we are honored to continue a tradition close to our hearts. For many years, we have been humbled by the generous support of donors toward the IJNF Patient Assistance Programme (PAP). While the PAP primarily assists with the treatment and surgery costs of underprivileged heart patients, it also ensures the welfare of their families. Because of your kindness, we are able to provide Suhoor & Iftar meal packs to caregivers who remain faithfully by the bedsides of heart patients in IJN wards.

It is a simple act rooted in empathy — a reminder that they are seen, supported, and not alone during this holy month.

Behind every heart patient is a loved one who gives endlessly. Mothers, fathers, and caregivers stay through long days and nights, offering the strength needed for recovery. As they provide emotional and physical support, we hope this small gesture brings them a moment of relief, warmth, and reassurance.

Be part of this journey of kindness. This Ramadan, we invite you to join us in continuing to support the IJNF PAP and sustaining this initiative. Together, we can ease at least one burden. A humble meal. One less worry. More time where it matters most.

We invite corporates and individuals to partner with us in our Shared Blessings in Ramadan effort. Meaningful impact is always stronger when done together. In the spirit of SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, let us support those who give their strength so selflessly.

Alijah and her husband, 62, earned a modest living as street hawkers, bringing in just enough each day to support their family. Everything changed when Alijah, previously healthy, was diagnosed with Complete Heart Block after experiencing persistent dizziness, diarrhoea, and loss of appetite. Unable to open her stall, the family’s only source of income was disrupted.

A mother of four, with her youngest still a student, Alijah’s condition worsened, and she underwent a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation to regulate her heart rhythm. She has since been discharged in stable condition and is on the road to recovery.

Through the IJN Foundation Patient Assistance Programme, Alijah was able to receive the treatment she needed. Made possible by generous donors, this programme continues to support underprivileged heart patients facing similar challenges.

Together, we can help more families in need. Partner with us today and be part of a community that helps our very own.
