Details of Work

Manipal Heart Foundation, a unit of Manipal Hospital, provides cardiac surgical facilities to adults and children. It has nine operation theatres, four of which are exclusively for paediatric cardiac surgery. It reserves half its beds for economically disadvantaged persons, and a quarter of all patients receive free services. 40% of all paediatric cardiac surgeries done so far have been for underprivileged children. It offers assistance in applying to the government, charitable trusts and funding agencies for aid, and sponsors a portion of the treatment costs from its own fund. It plans to open a paediatric ward sponsored by ICICI, which would consist of six operation theatres. It is involved in creating a database of children with heart disease in Karnataka, through its affiliated organisation, the Kiddie's Heart Foundation.
