41,000 children diagnosed with Congenital Heart Disease in Karnataka, data reveals
Advertisement
Over the past three years, nearly 41,000 school-going children in Karnataka have been diagnosed with congenital heart diseases (CHD), yet less than half have received treatment. These cases were identified through the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) screening program, which detects heart development issues before birth, reports Deccan Herald.
Identified children are referred to tertiary care centres and treated under the Ayushman Bharat-Arogya Karnataka scheme, but tracking each case on the ground remains challenging.
