Manipal Vijayawada Hospital Brings Paediatric Cardiac Care to Visakhapatnam Children

Manipal Hospital’s Vijayawada campus has begun providing advanced paediatric cardiac care to children in Visakhapatnam, offering essential heart surgeries and treatment that were previously unavailable locally.

The initiative introduces sophisticated cardiac procedures, including coronary artery bypass and valve repair, tailored for children. It addresses a critical gap as families in the region had to travel far, often to the mainland, for specialised care, placing financial and logistical burdens on them.

This expansion is expected to reduce wait times, lower healthcare costs, and improve survival rates for heart‑related illnesses among children in Visakhapatnam. Source: Google News – Manipal.
