THE BACKGROUND:
In India, about one out of every live birth is affected by congenital cardiac anomalies.
This means that approximately 180,000 to 200,000 children are born with CHD each year, and a significant portion of them require immediate intervention due to critical conditions. Unfortunately, due to their families' limited financial resources, many of these children are unable to access the necessary surgeries to treat their conditions.
THE IMPACT YOU CAN MAKE:
THE SOLUTION:
To address this problem, Rotary Banglore Junction, are committed to helping these children receive their life-saving heart surgeries. The Rotary Club has collaborated with one of the best cardiovascular hospitals in India, the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research (JICSR) to provide heart surgeries to children from underprivileged families.
These pediatric heart surgeries are done at a subsidized cost of between 1 L to 1.5 L depending on the complexity of the case. Grants and other donors and subsidies from paid surgeries will take care of part of the costs. In addition, there is a subsidy from the government, as these children are from BPL families.
This makes medical care more accessible and affordable for those who need it. We need just INR 40,000 to make the surgery happen. This hospital is also the NABH-accredited Children’s Hospital in Karnataka.
JUST INR 40000 WILL SAVE A LIFE.

ABOUT ME:
My name is RTN VIVEKHANANDAM D P K. I am a concerned citizen and am doing this initiative to literally save lives.
The plight of families of children from low-income families who cannot afford life-saving heart surgeries is to be seen to be believed. As a result, children with heart complications are unable to receive the treatment they desperately need. But together, we can make a difference.
I firmly believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, and it should not be limited to those who can afford it. By contributing to this campaign, you have the power to save lives and provide these children with new life and a bright future. One of the reasons I am particularly passionate about this cause is that heart surgeries can be performed at a relatively low cost.
I sincerely request you to support me in this endeavour so that we can help save the lives of these precious children. Together, we can bring hope, joy, and a chance for a healthier tomorrow to these children and their families.
