Manipal Hospital Vijayawada Expands Pediatric Heart Care Reach to Visakhapatnam

Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada has extended its world‑class paediatric cardiac surgery services to children residing in Visakhapatnam, according to reports from the National news portal.

Visakhapatnam, a major industrial hub on the east coast of India, has limited access to specialised cardiac care for infants and young children, often requiring families to travel to distant centres for life‑saving procedures.

The new arrangement allows children with congenital heart defects to receive treatment at a single, fully equipped centre without the need for prolonged stays or costly travel. Early studies show that timely surgical interventions have improved survival rates and reduced post‑operative complications. Source: Google News – Manipal.
