President Ratu Naiqama Lalabalavu expressed his gratitude to the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital in Fiji for their dedication to providing life-saving heart surgeries for children across Fiji and the Pacific. This acknowledgment came during a recent visit from the hospital’s chairman, Sumeet Tappoo, and director, Dr. Krupali Rathod Tappoo.
Since its establishment, the hospital has conducted over 29,000 heart screenings within its advanced Children’s Heart Screening Centre. Notably, through its Gift of Life program, more than 300 children from Fiji and other Pacific Island nations have received critical heart surgeries at no cost, highlighting the hospital’s commitment to compassionate care.
Ratu Naiqama noted that the hospital’s ability to offer these essential services for free showcases an extraordinary level of empathy and humanitarian service. This initiative not only alleviates immediate health concerns for affected children but also builds hope for families whose lives have been transformed through these medical interventions.
The hospital’s recent initiatives not only emphasize the importance of cardiac surgery but also promote increased awareness of heart health across the region. This collaborative effort exemplifies how dedicated medical professionals can make a substantial difference, ensuring that every child in need has access to the surgical care that can dramatically improve their quality of life.
The ongoing mission of the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital continues to inspire hope and foster a brighter future for families across Fiji and the Pacific region. With continued collaboration and dedication, the future of pediatric cardiac care appears promising, reinforcing the belief that compassion in healthcare can indeed change lives for the better.
