Chennai: In a major milestone for pediatric cardiac care in India, Apollo Children’s Hospitals, Chennai, has successfully completed over 6,000 pediatric cardiac surgeries and 10,000 pediatric cardiac interventional procedures, reinforcing its position as one of the country’s leading private pediatric cardiac programs.
Since its establishment in 2009, the Department of Cardiac Sciences at Apollo Children’s Hospitals has consistently delivered high-quality care to children with congenital and acquired heart diseases, including some of the most complex and high-risk procedures in newborns and infants.
Pediatric heart disease is among the most intricate areas of medical care. In India, nearly 8 out of every 1,000 children are born with congenital heart defects, which translates to approximately 300,000 affected children annually. Apollo Children’s Hospitals has addressed this significant health challenge with a multidisciplinary approach, providing advanced and individualized surgical and interventional care to infants, children, and young adults.
