Public Health Strategist, work on strategies for IMR reduction & improving quality survival of children, policy shaping for new age challenges. #CHD advocate.
During my Chhattisgarh visit, I met my young friends who have been successfully treated for congenital heart ailments. Their spirit is truly inspiring.
So well said @bzheleva. How can one achieve SDG 2030 goal of not leaving any one behind without addressing the most common and treatable congenital anomaly ie CHD. Population based approach to CHD care in Kerala has clearly shown that CHD care improves overall IMR
@USAIDGH@USAID Care of Preterm and SGA are resource intensive and wasteful if the continuum of care is ensured. A significant portion of death among them contributing to IMR happens after 28 days of life. Health systems to adapt for this.
@conqueringchd Hridyam for Little Hearts supporting children with congenital heart disease since 2018, a program by GoK. It’s an end to end solution facilitating prenatal diagnosis till community level follow up.
Newspapers published a picture of a sanitation worker trying to drain rainwater from a road in Thiruvananthapuram. Mayor @SAryaRajendran and I visited Murukan's home yesterday to honour him. Murugan symbolises Kerala's struggle for a garbage-free and clean New Kerala.

#DYK Congenital heart disease (CHD) is an abnormality in the structure of the #heart. It can disrupt the flow of blood through the heart which means blood flows slow, in the wrong direction or is blocked completely. #facts#chdaware#heartdefect#knowledge#didyouknow#realfacts
Newborn health services that include timely screening for #CHD can help save lives. Lifesaving care is only possible with your support. Make a year-end gift to Children’s HeartLink today. #heartdefect#congenitalheartdisease#childrenshealth#globalgoals https://t.co/NBdOPOiZd0
@MarceloCardare1 Exactly!! Another one i felt is aligning the goals... We had same and our common requirement was IMR reduction. Government was committed, there were fundsfor it, fortunately e had local resources or people willing to take training,...
Grateful for the opportunity to address attendees at @CHeartLink's Gala. We're focused on a shared vision to scale improved equity & outcomes around the world -- glad to support the important work of helping more patients access the quality pediatric heart care they deserve.
