MADURAI: In a major initiative, the Government has decided to join hands with leading private hospitals to provide treatment and surgeries to children with congenital heart diseases. Since the ‘case load’ was heavy in government hospitals, the Health Department had decided to have a tie-up with private hospitals so that children with heart malfunctioning could get immediate medical attention, Director of Public Health and Preventive Medicine P. Padmanaban told The Hindu here on Friday. Hospitals identified“In about 10 days, the scheme will be launched. The Government has identified some hospitals in different parts of the State and children who require treatment can go to these accredited hospitals and they need not wait,” Mr. Padmanaban said. Under the scheme, the Government would pay directly to private hospitals on behalf of the patient. The scheme was intended to serve deserving people who were screened and tested at government hospitals, he said. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and the State Government would extend financial support for the scheme. Children screened at the ‘Varumun Kappom’ camps and who were detected with heart problems could opt for treatment at private hospitals.
