Mangaluru: A J Hospital & Research Centre has established Dakshina Kannada’s first centre exclusively to treat children suffering from heart diseases. Simple heart defects can be cured by pin-hole procedures and complex defects treated by open heart surgeries which are now routinely done at our centre.
A heart check-up camp for children has been organized with a view to cater to a large number of children suffering from cardiac ailments and to create awareness among the parents about cardiac disease. The heart check-up camp for children with cardiac problems will be held in the out-patient department of A J Hospital & Research Centre on November 14.
