Mathura: Doctors perform cardiac surgery on a six month old with Blue Baby Syndrome

India has the largest burden of heart disease among children with 2 lakh children born every year with some form of a congenital heart defects (CHD). This number is far greater than the number of children with the condition, and is expected to keep growing in the country. In less than 6 months, we have performed critical Pediatric cardiac surgeries ranging from 6 months to 19 years - all complicated and never been performed in the region.”

Niira Radia, Chairperson Nayati Healthcare stated, “There is nothing more rewarding than saving the life of a child. With the help of our world class specialists, state-of- the-art technologies, we are giving our best to perform such critical surgeries on younger children in this region. The health statistics here reveal a rise in congenital heart disease among children in the region. Most of such diseases can be prevented through timely intervention. However, only 10 per cent of the affected infants with serious heart disease receive timely intervention. The remaining 90 per cent children do not survive because of late or no diagnosis. It is critical that awareness be created amongst the masses on early diagnosis so that the little ones can lead a healthy happy life. The Nayati team of Cardiac Sciences offers comprehensive care for patients with cardio vascular disease at an affordable cost and are fully equipped to handle such cases.”
