A collaborative effort between medical experts from the Healing Little Hearts charity in the United Kingdom and the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad is bringing hope and healing to children battling congenital Heart Disease.
Healing Little Hearts, known for its missions to low and middle-income countries, not only conducts surgeries for children but also empowers local medical teams through training, fostering independence in regional hospitals.
Dr. Ramana Dhannapuneni, lead surgeon and trustee of HLH, hailing from Telangana, identified the need for children’s heart surgical services in the region. In December 2022, he proposed a collaboration between the government-run Niloufer Hospital and NIMS to Minister T. Harish Rao. The partnership materialised into camps at NIMS.
