FREE/DISCOUNTED PEDIATRIC CARDIAC OPD
Why screening for Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) is Important?
In India- Every year- There are approximately 180000 to 200000 children born with congenital heart diseases( CHD) , only 15000 get treated, rest don’t survive or are added to past years pool of waitlisted children.
- 1 child is born in every 100 live births with CHD
- There are less than 50 centers with pediatric cardiac services and capability of infant and neonatal care. Unfortunately, majority of these are a part of ‘For Profit Institutions’ and less than 10 are in the Government sector.
- The scarcity of centers, specialists and lack of awareness regarding these diseases in community makes it a disease responsible for high infant and child mortality in our country. This leads to delay in screening, diagnosis and treatment and ultimately risk to life and family trauma as a whole.
