	D-1484    India - Santiniketan Heart to Heart $170,000 The Grant budget will be used for surgeries to the children of the economically weaker groups who are born with congenital heart defect. Part of the budget will be used for purchase of artificial valves, pre and post operative care of the patients. The surgery will take place in specialized hospitals in Kolkata, Durgapur and Shillong but the identification of the children will be done from the whole of R.I.Dist.3240.

Unless they’re cured with the help of surgery, these children grow up very weak and die premature death. We can prevent this by timely intervention and corrective surgery. Normally any heart surgery requires a lot of money and most of the people from low income back ground cannot afford this. We propose to take up the case of hundred such children from the whole of our district and get them operated in specialized hospitals in Kolkata and other places at a subsidized rate. We can give these children a normal healthy and meaningful life to live after the surgery. I have already talked with one of the doctors of specialized Hospitals in Kolkata who is involved in such work and he has readily agreed to help our cause by getting the surgery done at the rate of 50% of the normal rate which would come to around $1500 instead of normal rate of $3000. <27-Apr-09> System Entry Creation of project page.
