The Indian Association of Uganda has reserved slots for 100 Ugandan children with heart complications to undergo free surgery in India.
It was revealed by Rao Mohana, the Chairperson of the Association, while paying a courtesy call to the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tyebwa last evening that the Association decided to offer the free medical procedure to ailing but vulnerable children as the Indian Community in the country marks 100 years of existence in Uganda.
According to the Uganda Heart Institute, the common heart complications in children in Uganda include Rheumatic Heart Disease, Coronary artery, and abnormal heartbeats.
In response medical experts perform surgeries to repair or replace aortic separations and malfunctioning valves to correct unbalanced heartbeats. END.
