As a Foundation, we have a spatially wide reach of approximately 40 hospitals all over India, that we partner with, to fulfil our mission and support as many children as possible, never compromising on quality of care. Serving as our backbone and primary source for case referrals, all our partner hospitals follow certain criteria.
The hospital must have a full time dedicated Pediatric Cardiologist and Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon, who only handle Pediatric cases
A Pediatric Cardiac Intensivist, Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist and Pediatric Cardiac Perfusionist who handle only Pediatric cases
A dedicated Pediatric Cardiac ICU must be present, which is not shared by adult or other ICU patients
A functional Cath Lab for Pediatric Cardiac procedures
The capacity for treating neonates [not more than 30 days old]; and infants [not more than 1 year old]
A Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon with the capability of conducting procedures on neonates and infants
A dedicated nursing staff necessary for Pediatric Cardiac Cases
Specific systems and dedicated hardware for Cath based procedures in the Cath Lab
Trained personnel in the Cath Lab to handle procedures on neonates and infants
A dedicated system implemented for quality improvement in the Hospital on a regular basis
Regular quality audits conducted for the Pediatric Cardiology Department
If a hospital checks all the mandatory boxes above, we support the following types of Congenital Heart Defect surgeries with them:
A Pediatric Cardiologist, Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon who handles both Pediatric and Adult cases
A Pediatric Cardiac Intensivist, Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiologist and Pediatric Cardiac Perfusionist who are only on visiting basis
A dedicated Pediatric Cardiac ICU must be present, which is not shared by adult or other ICU patients
No capacity or Pediatric Cardiac surgeon with the capability for treating neonates [not more then 30 days old]; and infant [not more then 1 year old]*
A dedicated nursing staff necessary for Pediatric Cardiac Cases
A functional Cath Lab for Pediatric Cardiac procedures
Specific systems and dedicated hardware for Cath based procedures in the Cath Lab
Trained personnel in the Cath Lab to handle procedures on children over 1 year of age
A dedicated system implemented for quality improvement in the Hospital on a regular basis
Regular quality audits conducted for the Pediatric Cardiology Department
Then we partner with the hospital on a case-to-case basis for ONLY three types of Congenital Heart Defects
*And we do not support neonatal or infant surgeries with the given hospital
The “Genesis Foundation Application Form” and “Aadhar Verification Supplemental Form” are provided to each hospital. They are filled and signed with relevant details of the child and his/her family, along with the following mandatory documentation:
Once the “Genesis Foundation Application Form” with the accompanying documents is received, the Foundation runs its internal processes for approval, before providing a written confirmation to the concerned hospital for treating the particular case
If saving a life is a miracle, Genesis Foundation has performed that 3200 plus times and is still continuing to do so. Words fall short in trying to explain the gratitude and happiness that is expressed by the families of children who are treated successfully. Theirs is a true and direct service to humanity, and I take pride in being associated with their mission to Save Little Hearts.
I would like to compliment Genesis Foundation, for their courage of conviction and fortitude to tread the less travelled path by supporting children with Congenital Heart Defects. It is indeed humbling to see the tenacity of purpose and unflinching commitment to healing little hearts. What puts Genesis Foundation in a league of their own, is the humane touch and the transparent manner in which they go about in transforming the lives of lesser-privileged children.
The unique programme called Save Little Hearts, initiated by Genesis Foundation supports the surgeries of children born with heart defects from economically challenged backgrounds. They continue to provide financial help for some of the most difficult and challenging emergency operations in new borns with complex heart defects.
