He was diagnosed witth a complex heart condition called Cyanotic Heart disease and was in a highly risky condition that caused clotting in his blood.  Doctors knew that a heart transplant is what is required to save Faizal but he needs a heart for the transplant. Now, after 4 months since the diagnosis, doctor have identified a donor heart.

Faizal was admitted to Manipal hospital, Bangalore on Friday morning. The pre-operative investigations started immediately. The transplant costs 15 lakhs.
