200 Heartline Surgeries Completed

The Club has saved 200 children from withering away under its Rotary Heartline project. These young lives were saved by providing free heart surgery at our partner hospitals, PGI and Fortis Hospital. We are grateful to all the Rotary Angels who have continued to lend a helping hand in this noble project with their financial contribution. But the project is not over. Our promise is not to let any child die of congenital heart disease, for want of money. So let's continue to hold hands, and walk together, and gift a life.

CATS donate Blood

It was a touching gesture for the members of CATS (Chandigarh Adventures, Tours and Sports), who came forward to donate blood for the free cardiac surgery of children operated at Fortis under the Rotary Heartline project of Rotary Club of Chandigarh.
On a call given by the 'Head' CAT, Ms Supreet Dhiman, the sister of our Club Secretary A.P.Singh, to all the CATS, that on 18th January, that many of them responded enthusiastically. Not to be left behind were several doctors and medical staff of Fortis Hospital, who were full of verve and vitality to be a part of the effort.
Most commendable had been the role played by Dr. Neerja of Fortis Hospital in motivating the Fortis staffers. Our hats off to Babbi Harbhajan Singh who stood by Supreet the whole day.
To encourage the CATS members were President Arvind Mehan, Secy A.P.Singh, IPP Man Mohan Singh, PP kewal Seth, Rtn D.V. Bhatia and PP Charanjit Singh, and of course, Dr. Ashok from Fortis.
On 18th, 25 units of blood was collected and the next day again more CATS tropped in taking the toll to 34...and many more have committed to join the noble cause.
Our thanks to everyone for pitching in the truly sportsman spirit to partake in this noble 'adventure' too.
