“CHIME - CHILDRENS HEART INTERNATIONALE MIOT” is a Charitable Trust established by MIOT Hospitals to provide funds for FREE HEART SURGERIES FOR NEEDY CHILDREN suffering from CONGENITAL AND RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASES.

CHIME in association with MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care organizes free camps in and around South India to identify underprivileged children with congenital heart disorders and conditions whereby they are in need of immediate or imminent heart surgeries. CHIME reaches out to different districts not only to conduct camps and identify needy children with free heart surgeries but also to dispel fears and superstitions about congenital heart diseases among people and pave the way to a healthy life for future generations.

CHIME also organizes Free Heart Camps at MIOT Hospitals once a year on Children's Day when children can walk in and take advantage of a free check up, investigations and perhaps even extend to have free treatment depending on their socio-economic status.

It is heartening to note that in this short span of three years, CHIME together with MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care have undertaken more than 350 free / subsidized heart surgeries for children coming from poor socio-economic status.
