According to Dr Anurag Garg, each year, only around 15-20 per cent of children receive treatment for congenital heart defects due to the paucity of specialised centres. The newly established Paediatric Cardiac ICU aims to address this critical gap by providing advanced treatment for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions. Led by Dr Anurag Garg and the CVTS team, the unit is committed to delivering world-class healthcare. By offering exceptional patient-centric care and renewed hope, it strives to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.
