“He (Chinku Singh, 10 months old) is now a happy child after the successful surgery of Ventricular Septal Defect. His smile is back. In some time, he will start playing like other children.”

Paediatric heart surgeries
The Saving Little Hearts Program by India Humanity
Foundation (IHF) ensures
financial constraints do not prevent underprivileged children from accessing
life-saving heart surgeries. By partnering with leading cardiac hospitals
across India, the program has facilitated over 1,500 paediatric heart
surgeries, offering critical care to those in need.
In a country where access to quality healthcare remains limited for many, India Humanity
Foundation (IHF), in collaboration with Yogita Kichlu Welfare Trust and Rotary Club of Kolkata
Benevolence, is bringing lifesaving cardiac care to children from underprivileged backgrounds.
Recently, 14 young lives from across the country were transformed through timely surgeries
conducted at R. N. Tagore Hospital, Kolkata.
In a powerful testament to compassion beyond boundaries, three children from Ethiopia
and
one
child from Ghana have recently received lifesaving heart surgeries in India under the Saving
Little Hearts program of the India Humanity Foundation (IHF). Their stories reflect both the
fragility of life and the resilience that comes when care and hope are extended across
nations.
This milestone was made possible through the dedicated efforts of Mr. V. R. Muthu from
Kerala
and Mr. Rajeev Sharma from Ethiopia and MR. Rajendra Rai from Bangalore and Mr.
Padmanabhan
Menon from Ghana whose commitment ensured that these young lives received the timely
care
they
needed.
These stories reflect more than medical intervention—they represent resilience,
opportunity,
and
second chances. Fully funded by IHF and partners, the surgeries ensure no child is
denied
care
due to lack of funds. IHF remains committed to reaching children in remote and
underserved
areas—because every little heart deserves to beat strong and free.
