I have raised money for their airfares and the hospital said they would take money for the surgeries later.

We have told them we will not charge for food and hospital stay,” said cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr K M Cherian, who heads Frontier Lifeline.A team from his hospital had visited Guyana six years ago and had diagnosed more than 200 children with heart diseases.“The country did not even have an Echo machine; we had to take one from Chennai.

That is how our journey towards treating kids from Guyana began,” Dr Cherian said.Frontier Lifeline will keep the cost of treatment low.“We have used pig veins instead of synthetic ones for young hearts. Our experience has shown that such patients don’t return to the hospital with problems. It reduces cost by many times and the success rate is very high,” he pointed out.A team from the hospital brought the veins from Meat Product of India, Kerala, and these were used to replace the ailing veins in the hearts of three children.
