Cardiac care for children, unlike for adults, is an area
that requires specialization of the highest degree - from
the equipment used, to specialized medical skills, as it
involves treatment even for children who are a day old.
Established earlier this year, the Centre aims at providing
comprehensive paediatric and cardiac surgical care,
comparable to the world’s best.
It is equipped with the latest diagnostic and surgical
equipment, specialized for treating even day old babies and
an excellent Paediatric ICU with dedicated nurses.
An experienced and renowned team of paediatric
cardiac professionals is led by Director & Chief Paediatric
Cardiac Surgeon, Dr. Robert Coelho. Dr. Robert Coelho has
already performed over 5000 surgeries and is one of the
pioneers of very complex surgeries in neonates and infants.
He is ably assisted by Chief Paediatric Cardiologist, Dr. K.
Siva Kumar who has specialized in Pinhole (non surgical)
correction of heart defects – an innovative procedure that
has brought great relief for children.
The Centre treats patients not only from various states of
India, but also from neighbouring countries of the Middle
East, Sri Lanka and Africa.
