Patients suffering from end stage heart failure are frequently in and out of hospitals and have very poor quality of life. For these patients all medical options should have already been exhausted barring heart transplant and LVAD (high end devices that support the heart function), both of which are still in infancy stage in India. We are pleased to launch Heart Failure Clinic at Sakra which is our first step towards establishing a Heart Transplant Program”
