Go Bangalore: Neo-natal heart
care
In a country with the dubious
distinction of producing the largest number of children with heart diseases in the world,
the Children's Heart Wing at Manipal Hospital's Manipal Heart Foundation has both the
expertise and the infrastructure to perform cardiac surgery on infants. When fully
functional, this 7.5 crore project with four operation theatres will be the largest
paediatric cardiac surgical unit in the world. And since charges for such operations are
beyond the means of most families, the hospital organises financial assistance for those
who need it. A number of surgeons are also offering their services free. Phone: (080)
