Earmarks outlay of Rs 120 lakhs, to offer free heart surgeries to children of truck drivers Cholamandalam Investment & Finance Company (Chola), the financial services arm of Murugappa Group, reiterated its alliance with Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals to provide free cardiac treatment and care to children of drivers, cleaners and mechanics of commercial heavy vehicles, from anywhere in the country. The company has announced an outlay of Rs 120 lakhs this fiscal (2021 – 2022) towards this noble cause which will help treat 80 children who are born with congenital heart disease. In the 2020 – 2021 fiscal, Chola had pledged to support the surgical heart procedures for these children whose ages ranged from newborn up to 18 years with a total outlay of Rs 120 lakhs. As part of the arrangement, Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals located in Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Palwal (Haryana) and Kharghar (Maharashtra) provide world-class paediatric cardiac care for the children of road transport staff free. From diagnostics to open-heart surgery, post-operative care, medication, diet…all services will be provided without any charge. Speaking on the partnership with Chola, Dr Subramanian Chellappan, Director, Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital (Palwal, Haryana) said, “During the COVID Pandemic, children suffering from congenital heart disease (CHD) were vulnerable to both COVID and CHD. While this treatment was unavailable in both Private and Govt Hospitals during the Pandemic, Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals continued to offer these life-saving surgeries with COVID protocols. We value our partnership with Chola who supported children of the trucking community with CHD, in these critical times. From 2019 till Sept 2021, Chola has given new life to over 150 children whose families have been uplifted financially, socially and emotionally.” Truck drivers, cleaners or mechanics whose children are suffering from congenital heart disease may approach Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals at 8010119000 to avail of the free treatment.
