KARO Heart

In India,Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) contributes to 17.8% of total deaths.

The rising concern

In India, Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) contributes to 17.8% of total deaths. Deaths due to heart diseases have risen from 13 lakhs in 1990 to more than 28 lakhs today, out of which 200,000 thousand children are estimated to be born with CHD each year in India. These rising numbers are a reflection of inadequate heart health care in India either due to lack of awareness, healthcare facilities and or poor financial conditions.
KARO HEART strives to fight against cardiovascular disease and make a true difference.

Why KARO Heart?

KARO believes that every heartbeat matters, and having a healthy heart is a fundamental human right. With KARO HEART, we strive to fight against cardiovascular disease and make a true difference. We work towards saving the lives of patients suffering from heart defects and who require surgery, including heart transplants. We provide support for post-surgery complications and treatment as well.

KARO HEART supported over 347 heart surgeries and transplants, and has assisted 865 patients.

The outcome

The Government of Maharashtra and various hospitals have initiated health programs specifically for CHD, and these efforts focus on early stage detection and provision of medical facilities and assistance for free, or at a nominal fee. Within the first two years of the KARO HEART initiative we supported over 347 heart surgeries and transplants, and as of December 2023, KARO HEART has assisted 1031 patients.
