in Delhi. We have our 12A and 80G certifications.
We support children with congenital heart defects
born in underprivileged families, Our focus is
families who are financially challenged and cant
meet the treatment expenses for heart surgery or
intervention. Child Heart Foundation was
conceived by parents who have been through
similar situations and have gotten over with
their tough part of life and now want to give
back to the needy families. It was founded by
these 7 parents whose children have already been
treated by Dr. Vikas Kohli. These parents along
with Dr Vikas Kohli are the founding trustees of
the organization.

5Programmes under which Child Heart Foundation
works
1.HriDAAN Financial Assistance Program Our goal
at Child Heart Foundation is to provide support
to the parents whose child is born with
congenital heart disease. We register patients
who are diagnosed with cardiac defect and the
family lacks the funds for treatment. We raise
funds for their treatment and get them treated.
62. JeeVANSH Fetal Cardiology Program
- During Pregnancy, normal ultrasound is carried
out as general practice but there are certain
congenital diseases which are not visible in
normal ultrasound and can thus get ignored. The
need is therefore to get early screening and
detection of heart defect for appropriate future
decisions to be made. -
- At Child Heart Foundation, we are the only center
where this evaluation is done free of charge for
economically poor pregnant women.
73. HriYANSH Free Pediatric echo program
- We have free OPD for children on every Thursday
-
- Who because of overload of patients in government
hospitals, have to wait for months and sometimes
years for consultation and treatment. - Who cannot afford private consultation and echo
tests
84. PraDAAN Cardiac Nutrition and OPD
Counselling for Infants
- Cardiac nutrition becomes an issue in children
with heart disease with large shunt and increased
pulmonary blood flow. - We at Child Heart Foundation, help these children
by counselling the families and reinforcing the
importance of healthy diet and planned nutrition.
95. SuGYAAN Community/School Health awareness
- The objective of this program is to create
awareness about the incidence and cause of heart
disease in school going children and to introduce
and educate about the importance of healthy
eating and healthy living. - This program connects us with the young children
and also with the school/institute staff and
indirectly the individual families thus the
impact is much more.
106. Hridaya Saksham Specialized Training for
Pediatric Cardiologists
- A huge gap exists between India's requirements
for pediatric cardiologists and the available
numbers. It is generally recommended that one
infant and new-born heart surgery program is
required for 5-10 million people. This would
translate into a requirement of at least 1,000
pediatric heart centers for all of India. Only
about 32 centers and 130 trained pediatric
cardiologists are available. - In order to bridge the gap, CHF initiated this
program to train medical fraternity in Rural and
semi Urban areas of the Country. This will
increase the screening and diagnosis of children
with CHD.
117.Fundraising Raising funds for the Heart
Treatment of child
- Child Heart Foundation is one of Indias rarest
volunteer parents based nongovernmental
organization. Families and friends play an
important role in raising funds for various
projects which we undertake. - Funds are raised through few corporate donations
and also by individual donations. - During 2017-18, We also raised funds through
various crowdfunding sites, this helped us in two
ways -
- By running our campaigns on crowdfunding
platforms, we could create a substantial
awareness about congenital heart diseases. - We connected with individual donors and were
successful in forming new bonds and connections.
