20 percent of infant mortality is due to Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD). Poor children have no access to quality medical care and cannot afford high cost of surgery. 3000 children (India, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, El Salvador, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan) benefited from GOL India New Delhi project alone. PRID Rtn Sushil Gupta (Advisor), PDG Ravi Bhooplapur (Chair) and Dr AC Peter (National Coordinator) monitor this life saving project. Rotary (Delhi NCR) Gift of Life Trust is auxiliary. This project was launched in New Delhi India in July 2005. Our partner hospitals are Escorts, NHI and PCH in Delhi. PRID Jackson Hsieh, D3460 to D3520 are also MG Donors. Children were given medicine, food and accommodation, conveyance etc. free of cost. Rotarians visit the children in the hospital and offer motherly care. Past and current RI Presidents, TRF Trustee, Ministers, Ambassadors etc visited the project. This is truly an international peace project signifying “service above self”
