The Hans Foundation's 'Little Hearts' Initiative Saves Over 3000 Babies with Congenital Heart Diseases

Timely Intervention and Financial Support Provide Lifeline for Families Facing CHD Challenges

Congenital heart diseases (CHD) pose a significant threat to infants worldwide, affecting over 2 lakh babies annually in India alone. However, an inspiring initiative led by The Hans Foundation has emerged as a beacon of hope, saving more than 3000 babies from the clutches of CHD through timely intervention and financial assistance.

One such story is that of Wahida Khatoon, whose son was diagnosed with CHD just days after birth. The Foundation's 'Little Hearts' programme stepped in, offering crucial financial support for surgeries that would have otherwise been financially insurmountable for Wahida and her husband, whose annual income is Rs 1.2 lakh.

CHD, ranging from mild to severe defects in the heart's structure and function, demands early intervention for successful treatment. Dr. Viresh Mahajan underscores the importance of timely diagnosis, highlighting the Foundation's role in providing aid for surgical interventions and post-surgery care.

With a success rate close to 98 percent in surgical procedures, The Hans Foundation has partnered with leading hospitals across India to ensure access to quality healthcare for children from marginalized backgrounds. Additionally, their expansion plans under The Hans Paediatric Care programme aim to reach even more families in need, reaffirming their commitment to creating a world where every child has equal access to healthcare.

For parents like Wahida, the Foundation's support has been invaluable, turning moments of despair into stories of hope and resilience. As her baby now thrives, Wahida's gratitude echoes the sentiments of countless families who have found solace in The Hans Foundation's unwavering dedication to saving young lives.
