| Description: | This project aims to arrange open heart surgery, free of cost to beneficiary i.e. economically disadvantaged children up to the age of 14 years, suffering from congenital heart diseases, who cannot afford the cost of open heart surgery to cure their heart disease in order to enable them to pursue studies and lead quality life thereafter. By saving one life in one family, Rotary is helping the entire family. In fact, it reduces the burden of entire local community. After surgery, the child can lead normal quality life and therefore this future citizen will contribute to community and promote the economic and social interests of family and community. “Gift of Life” aspires to give quality lives to children suffering from heart ailments, with this proposed Global grant project, by arranging heart surgery at Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital in New Delhi. Secondly, Rajiv Gandhi Super Specialty Hospital is adjoining a Children’s Hospital called Chacha Nehru Hospital which has paediatric Cardiologists who will be seeing Children regularly in their OPD department. Both these hospitals are Delhi Govt. Hospitals. In addition, we plan to conduct Heart Camps outside Delhi as well and arrange the children to be shifted to RGSSH for the requisite Surgery. |
