The International Medical Health Organization and The Rotary Club of Kandy have joined hands to provide heart surgery for children with congenital heart defects at a cost of $1250 US dollars per child. Congenital Heart Defects are the most common birth defect and leading cause of death during the first year of a child’s life. In Sri Lanka it is estimated that for every 1000 newborns there are six to eight children with Congenital Heart Defects. This will be an ongoing project.
