What we do

Saving A Child's Heart Initiative (SACHi) is one of Asia's largest voluntary organizations, dedicated to paediatric cardiac care for underprivileged. In order to combat the escalating problem of congenital cardiac issues in children, Dr. C. Prathap Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Group of Hospitals established the Children's Cardiac Wing in the hospitals. SACHi exists today due to his boundless vision towards removing barriers that deny any child the right to breathe freely, play, study and most importantly, live a full life.

Established in 2003, SACHi aims to provide early diagnosis, treatment, surgery, post-operative care and financial support to children from economically weak sections of the society. SACHi has to date touched 50,000 lives. Our achievement is that every child irrespective of community or background, is provided cutting edge treatment and operative care. Our training and workshops not only enable our medical workforce, but also educate people on hart care and heart disease prevention in the most backward areas of the country. Ours is a story of positive change that has only just begun its journey. As this mission grows, it is future generations that will see more and more children growing into adults leading healthy, happy , rewarding lives !

SAVING LITTLE HEARTS SO THEY CAN LIVE A BIG LIFE !

Why we care

THEY COULD LIVE UPTO 2 OR 82..

THEIR HEART IS IN OUR HANDS !

Have you ever woken up feeling like your chest is trapped ? That no matter how much you gulp and swallow air, your breath simply cannot make its way to your lungs ? Have you ever felt like your heart is beating so rapidly that it is going to leap out of your body? Have you ever wanted to run and play with your friends but stopped within a few steps because you suddenly felt so exhausted ?

It is estimated that 200,000 children are born with heart diseases every year. Less than 5% of them receive care on time. Most succumb without even seeing their first birthday! Studies reveal that 10% of all infant mortality can be attributed to congenital heart diseases alone. Others indicate an increase in the number of paediatric cardiac disorders. Added to that is the small numbers of dedicated paediatric centres, a little over a dozen paediatric cardio thoracic surgeons and 25 paediatric cardiologists who have to operate on over 6500 children every year !
