Project Description Region: Asia Country: India Location: Thane Total Budget: $92,632 Area of Focus: Disease prevention and treatment We are looking for "International Partner Clubs" to support this project. Rotary Club of Dombivli East [RCDE] has a long-standing legacy of implementing impactful, sustainable, and community-driven projects across healthcare, education, environment, water & sanitation, and community development. We have identified a critical need for paediatric cardiac care in India, where approximately 200,000 children are born annually with Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). Alarmingly, only about 2% of these children receive the necessary treatment. This gap in care is driven by a lack of new born screening and awareness, the high cost of surgeryâ₀"averaging US$1,845 (₹1.75 lakh) per caseâ₀"a shortage of paediatric cardiac centres outside major cities, and the prohibitive travel and accommodation expenses faced by families. To address this, our project will facilitate life-saving cardiac surgeries for children at the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai. RCDE has been a consistent force in the fight against congenital heart defects [CHD] for economically challenged families. Our club has supported 234 Child heart surgeries through Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre, Navi Mumbai, India. • RY 2023â€"24: 17 pediatric cardiac procedures supported through a Rotary Global Grant program with international partner Rotary Club of Ann Arbor West, MI, USA.

[GG2685888] For Rotary Year 2026â€"27, we have planned Supporting 50 pediatric heart surgeries at Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centre, Navi Mumbai. Grant funds will be utilized to cover essential surgical and clinical expenses, including consultant fees, operating theater and ward costs, drugs and consumables, diagnostics, imaging (2D Echo, ECG, X-Ray), lab investigations, blood products, medical gases, and patient diet.
