Dr. Pankaj Sugaonkar, Paediatric Cardiologist at Sahyadri Hospitals said that with improvement in diagnostic facilities, the number of children getting diagnosed with heart ailments and coming for treatments to Pune have increased. However, due to poor financial conditions there are many deprived of timely treatment. Under Mission Prerana, we aim to provide these Cardiac Treatments with financial assistance for eligible patients. Complex Procedures like device closure atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus, BPV and BE & Paediatric Cardiac Surgeries will be covered under this Program.
