Paediatric Heart Conditions in Pakistan

Published by atif at 12:44 pm under cardiac

A recent article on BBC Urdu revealed that as many as 40,000 Pakistan children are being born with congenital heart problems. With only one paediatric institution in Lahore covering basic and advanced paediatric conditions, most of those children will receive only very basic treatment or none at all

Parents with access to some finance can travel with their children to India (Globe Heart Tours offers such treatment), otherwise the prognosis for most of these children is pretty bleak.
