When the lives of young children, the future of the world, hang in the balance due to a condition they have absolutely no control over, the future starts looking grey.

An accurate and timely diagnosis has become critical in changing the long-term outcome for many conditions. This can be cancer, heart conditions, neurological conditions like autism in children, a diagnosis made on time enables one to undertake proactive steps and seek the right medical advice and treatment to ensure a better outcome.  When it comes to congenital heart defects (CHDs) also known as hole in heart by birth , the situation is also not so different.

When the world was recovering from the pandemic, it was corporate donations that made a colossal impact in the sphere of nonprofits. India is a country with more than three mill
