HEALTHCARE
"In order to achieve the goals of human life, good health is necessary. The mind, body and heart cannot work in unity if one suffers from ill health. It is the fundamental responsibility of those who are healthy, to help those who are not healthy."

SRI SATHYA SAI SANJEEVANI CENTRES
FOR CHILD HEART CARE
Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centres for Child Heart Care were
set up to address this national burden.
With almost one out of every hundred children being born with a cardiac
ailment, the problem that stares at us in the face is humongous. And with
the need for quality healthcare in our country growing alarmingly by the day,
the problem needs an immediate address. It is estimated that of the 30 million live births
each year in India, around 2,40,000 children (8 out of 1000 live births) are born with
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). Further, one out of every 4 newborns with CHDs
(~60,000) would require intervention during infancy each year. CHDs are also the most
common cause for infant mortality, accounting for around 3-10% of infant deaths.
The need - treatment gap
While there is an acute need for pediatric cardiac services, care remains grossly inadequate
and if available, beyond reach. It is estimated that open heart CHD surgeries cost
around US $ 4000 - 6000 across most private Indian Hospitals. Today, only 2-3% of
infants requiring congenital heart surgery actually undergo it, as either the condition is
undetected, or facilities are unavailable or unaffordable. The result is that infants and
children die in thousands every year.
Call for quality pediatric heart care institutions
Clearly there is an immediate need for the society and the health system to address
this huge gap in a concerted manner, by establishing a number of quality institutions that
would be centers of excellence providing affordable and quality pediatric cardiac care.

PREVENTIVE CARE
DIVINE MOTHER & CHILD HEALTH PROGRAM
Mothers and Children matter - so does their health. The healthy future of society depends on the health of the children of today and their mothers, who are guardians of that future.
To further the nation's commitment towards a healthy life for its children and create a holistic and sustainable impact on society, it was imperative to focus on the preventive and educative healthcare spectrum of Child heart care. It is in this context that the hospital's Department of Public Health & Research launched the Divine Mother & Child Health Program in 2013 - a comprehensive early detection and systemic health screening programme for rural school going children, to create a holistic & sustainable impact on the society. The Child Health Screening is based on Government of India's Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) and focuses on detection of 4D's i.e, Defects at birth, Deficiencies, Disease & Developmental delays and disabilities. The programme expanded into the Divine Mother & Child Health Program in September 2017, focusing on Preventive Care for Pregnant women and Children.
CHILD HEALTH SCREENING
Need
Out of our country's annual birth cohort of about 26 million, it is estimated that about 1.7 million children are born with Defects at birth, accounting for almost 10% of the total new-born deaths and 4% of the under-five mortality in the country. Children also suffer from a variety of Deficiencies. Nearly 47% of all children are malnourished, 43% underweight, and 20% wasted including eight million severely acute malnourished children. Besides defects at birth, Deficiencies and Diseases, Developmental Delays including disabilities afflict as many as 10% of our child population. However, if detected in time, such disabilities can be managed and the children be groomed with adequate medical support to lead normal lives. This is a matter of concern with the need for urgent and effective action.
Global focus on health screening programmes
According to World Health Organization, an effective school health programme can be one of the most cost-effective investments a nation can make to simultaneously improve education and health. WHO promotes school health programme as a strategic means to prevent important health risks among children and to engage the education sector in efforts to change the behavioural, educational, socio-economic conditions that affect risk. Apart from screening programmes, WHO puts specific emphasis on inculcating healthy behaviours during childhood, by integrating comprehensive health education modules in school health programmes.

About
The Burden and Pain of Congenital Heart Diseases on children and their families is a cruel and unfortunate reality of our times. Sadly, it is the commonest Disease at birth in India and its Curative Care is inadequate and often inaccessible. 'Healthcare' is complete when treatment of disease is accompanied by the understanding of its causes.
The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Research Centre for Congenital Heart Diseases aims at this learning while working towards and unravelling the possible causes of Congenital Heart Diseases.

Just as his name suggests, Kushagr arrived at Sai Sanjeevani Palwal as a sharp and observant seven months old. Kushagr was raised primarily by his grandmother as his mother struggled with postpartum depression. The joy that Kushagr brought to the family suddenly came to a standstill when they discovered the adverse truth that there was a murmur in the child's heart pointing to a congenital cardiac defect. Kushagr's health continued to deteriorate and his hapless father and grandmother did not know how to proceed further. Many hospitals turned down Kushagr's admission and falsely lead them to believe that the child had to grow up for surgery to be feasible. However, his age was ideal for surgery.
In this searing darkness, Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Palwal shined as their only star. At Sai Sanjeevani, the child was given a surgical date but was also advised to consider other options as he needed surgery within a few months or he could lose his window of operability. While waiting for their turn at Sai Sanjeevani, they explored other hospitals, where they bumped into a destitute mother and child duo who had prior experience at Sai Sanjeevani. The woman emphatically extolled in reference to Sai Sanjeevani, "You have left Heaven and come here! You must go back there."
This, to the grandmother, felt like a sign to return to Palwal. Both father and grandmother were determined to wait the necessary time for Kushagr's treatment and refused to go anywhere else. Finally, Kushagr was admitted and underwent surgical closure for VSD with infundibular resection and SAM Excision. At the time of discharge, Kushagr's grandmother narrated a story that moved everyone in the hospital. Kushagr's father, who happens to work as an officer in a governmental department, explained that his stay in Sai Sanjeevani transformed him profoundly and made him rethink his behaviour towards his coworkers and subordinates. At Sai Sanjeevani, he observed that from sweeper to surgeon, everyone is treated equally and with great reverence. This is also reflected in the demeanour of the staff who love and serve patients, families, and each other with compassion and respect. This lead to a resolution to adopt an attitude at work that exhibited dedication, integrity and humility. At Sai Sanjeevani there was a new lease of life not only for Kushagr but also for the entire family.
