Recently 3 children who had complex congenital heart problems were brought to Sri Ramakrishna Hospital from Philippines. They were evaluated by the Peadiatric Cardiologist Dr.Devaprasath and all patient required Complex Open heart procedures to cure their cardiac ailment. Sri Ramakrishna Hospital’s Pediatric Cardiac Surgical team headed by Dr.Vijay Sadasivam and Anesthetist Dr.Narendra Menon performed the complex corrective open heart surgeries for all the three patients successfully. The patients recovered uneventfully in the post operative period and were discharged in a week’s time. After recuperating for one week in Coimbatore the patients flew back to Philippines.

The treatment and the travel were absolutely free for the patients, as they were sponsored by Rotary club of Saicity under their flagship project ‘Gift of Life’.
