Gets a new lease of life



Veneranda Arusha Guyuze

The 25,000th cardiac patient walked out of the Madras Medical Mission in Mogappair, thanks to the skilled team of cardiac surgeons who gave her a new lease of life.

Eleven-year-old Veneranda Arusha Guyuze of Tanzania was operated on November 10.

Her surgery, for mitral valve replacement, was sponsored by Tanzania's Ministry of Health.

On the same day a porter, Chandrasekaran, underwent bypass surgery with financial support from charitable institutions and trusts. S. Rajan, a senior consultant for adult cardiac surgery and Robert Coelho, senior consultant, paediatric cardiac surgery, led the team of surgeons.

The hospital claims to have treated over five lakh people and performed 60,000 interventional cardiac procedures and surgeries.
