In December 2024, Aster DM Healthcare embarked on a transformative mission, bringing its medical expertise and compassion to six children from Arunachal Pradesh. The initiative begun with a congenital heart disease (CHD) screening camp at R.K Mission Hospital, Itanagar, where nearly 130 individuals, ranging from newborns to young adults up to 25 years old, received free heart screenings. Organized by Aster DM Foundation and Oniya Heart Foundation, with the support of Aster Volunteers, the camp identified 25 children in urgent need of life-saving cardiac treatment.

Out of these, six children with critical heart conditions were promptly transferred to Aster Medcity, Kochi, where they underwent advanced medical interventions. The hospital successfully performed two complex open-heart surgeries and four catheterization procedures. Demonstrating its commitment to accessible healthcare, Aster Medcity fully funded two surgeries and one catheterization procedure, while offering significant financial relief to the remaining patients. This initiative, driven by Aster DM Foundation’s ‘Heart to Heart’ program, was more than just medical aid—it was about transforming lives and ensuring every heartbeat continued with hope.
