TIRUPATI. Dec. 10. A team of paediatric cardiologists from Cherian Heart Foundation will be visiting the TTD-run Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences (SVIMS), Tirupati, on December 11 and 12 for a special medical camp.

The team has programmed to visit SVIMS every second Saturday and Sunday for the benefit of children suffering from heart-ailments in the backward Rayalaseema districts. The team, headed by Snehal Kulkarni, consultant paediatric cardiologist, will run the paediatric OP and conduct `cath study', a release issued by SVIMS said. The team will be assisted by the SVIMS Director, G. Subramanyam, and Rajasekhar, both cardiologists.
