A screening initiative in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, has identified more than 100 children with heart defects. Project Dhadkan aims to detect hidden heart risks at an early stage.
So far, 16 children have undergone surgery as part of the program, with plans for additional surgeries in the future. Experts estimate that a significant number of Indian children are born with congenital heart conditions.
Early detection and treatment are considered crucial in enabling these children to lead normal lives. The program provides free screenings and surgeries to families in need.
