304. MissionCast – The Gift of Life – Ludhiana CMC

Haiti

Now at the Ludhiana Christian Medical College, in India, they are able to do pediatric cardiac surgery for a little less than $6,000 per child. The parents pay $1,000 if they are able, the surgeons do not charge their fees, the hospital subsidizes the surgery and generous donors contribute $5,000 for each surgery. In this MissionCast, Dr. Bedi tells about the difference between heart surgery for children and adults. You will also meet some of the children needing the surgery for repairing the holes in their hearts they have been suffering from since birth.
