Cardiac Surgery is 100% Curative
Unlike chronic conditions, a corrected heart disease stays cured forever. The child grows up fully active.
The Heartbreaking Reality in India
- Over 200,000 children are born with Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) every year in India.
- Nearly 30% of these infants do not survive their first birthday without proper cardiac surgery.
- Government facilities have waitlists stretching from 6 months to 2 years—too long for a fragile heart.
- 80% of affected families earn less than ₹10,000 ($120 USD) per month.
The Miracle of Direct Surgery funding
- Cardiac surgery is completely curative. Once corrected, these children go on to live entirely healthy, normal lifespans.
- Idhayangal partners with top-tier private hospitals to bypass long wait times and negotiate subsidized surgery packages.
- We maintain 100% transparency; every rupee donated is directly wired to the treating hospital for surgical expenses.
- Over 5,280 lives saved. With your help, we aim to double this number in the next 3 years.
What Your Support Achieves
- Gives an innocent infant a lifelong chance to grow, play, go to school, and build a future.
- Saves entire families from debt traps or high-interest informal loans that perpetuate intergenerational poverty.
- Fosters a strong community of doctors, donors, corporate partners, and volunteers dedicated to making cardiac care a right.
- A life-saving operation that costs ₹10 Lakhs in private care is subsidised to ₹1.5 Lakhs by Idhayangal.
