Our project, Rotary Heartline, is one of the noblest of projects that is dedicated to save the lives of children and young people suffering from congenital cardiac disease, and who otherwise, because of their economic challenges, cannot afford the costly surgery.
What started as a Gift of Life Project in 1998 under the Rotary Foundation's matching grant project, has been carried forward by the Rotarians even after the completion of the matching grant, through their own financial resources.
For each surgery Rotarians and many of the Rotary Angels from the community, and around the world, contribute around Rs.65,000 (USD1600), for saving each life. This barely covers the cost of the consummables, and the rest of the medical support comes from our two partner hospitals, PGIMER, and the Fortis Hospital, who undertake surgery completely free of cost. The Club also contributes in terms of entire hospitality, local travelling, sight-seeing, gifts for the patients, and daily care.
We are grateful to the noble souls who continue to support this project.
You too can be a part of this noble initiative...and save a precious life.
