Max Healthcare in collaboration with Ministry of Health, Iraq has carried out cardiac surgeries on over 30 Iraqi children with congenital heart diseases at its flagship facility at Saket.
The surgeries were carried out by a team of doctors led by Dr Kulbhushan Singh Dagar, Principal Director, Chief Surgeon and Head, Neonatal and Congenital Heart Surgeries, at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket.
Talking about the overall health condition of these children, Dr Dagar said, “Max Healthcare has partnered with Ministry of Health, Iraq to treat children with congenital heart defects. The delay in arrival of these children owing to travel restrictions during the pandemic, has resulted in deterioration of their health condition owing to increased co-morbidities. They required urgent surgical intervention and made post-operative management more challenging. We have already operated on over two dozen Iraqi children so far and they are doing well post-surgery. Some of them have also returned to their country. Over the next 10 days we will perform more corrective surgeries”.
Max Healthcare provides state-of-the-art and high-end neonatal and paediatric cardiac procedures. It is a preferred destination for precision surgeries for international patients.
