A young boy of 12 years cannot think of living beyond histeens he has a defective heart valve and althoughtreatment is available by which his life line can be
expanded to normal span.
His fault is that he is born in a poor family.
His parents have been running from pillar to post to collect
the funds but still cannot come anywhere near theminimum cost required for congenital cardiac correctivesurgery.
They give up and with darkness in life await the inevitable.
Can we allow this to ha en?Can we allow this to ha en?

Medical consumables required for each surgery cost Rs.65,000
Chandigarh Rotary Club meets the cost of surgeries by raising
voluntary donations through its members. They get no grants
PGI Chd. and Fortis Mohali are partners in the project
Each surgery requires 6 units of blood
Most of the patients are from far flung towns, near impossibletask for their families to arrange donors in a strange city
