Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is one of the most life threatening diseases affecting the children of the world. CHD accounts for nearly one-third of all major congenital anomalies, representing a major Global Health Problem.
While there is an acute need for pediatric cardiac services, care remains grossly inadequate and if available, beyond reach.
Today, only 2-3% of infants requiring congenital heart surgery actually undergo it, as either the condition is undetected or facilities are unavailable or unaffordable.
The result is that infants and children in India die in thousands every year.
With over 250,000 CHD conditions occurring each year, barriers created due to affordability makes the situation grimmer.
The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani chain of Hospitals in Raipur, Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore are a beacon of hope for countless parents whose children suffer from congenital heart defects.
