The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre for Child Heart Care in Navi Mumbai and US-based Children’s Heart Link have signed an MoU to enhance care for children born with heart disease and to expand training opportunities to save more lives.
The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre is a hospital without billing counter which provides free of cost treatment to children with congenital heart disease. It is based in three states in India and has done over 28,000 child heart surgeries for children from across India and 15 developing countries.
“This is a unique partnership for Children’s Heart Link in India. As a charity hospital, Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre for Child Heart Care is operating with considerably fewer resources than its for-profit counterparts. They’re dedicated to providing vital medical care to children with heart disease; care they might not otherwise receive,” said Jackie Boucher, Children’s Heart Link President, during the MoU signing ceremony.
“This partnership shall bring in the latest medical expertise and know-how techniques from reputable paediatric cardiac specialists associated with Children’s Heart Link and Children’s Mercy Kansas City, USA to Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre for Child Heart Care. This will help in providing world class paediatric cardiac care to poor and needy children who are treated totally free at #srisathyasaisanjeevani,” said Dr Snehal Kulkarni, Mentor, Pediatric Cardiology, Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centres for Child Heart Care.
At the ceremony, Chairman of Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals Dr C Sreenivas highlighted the importance of child health as an investment towards human transformation rather than treat it as an expenditure.
