Mission Heal- A Heartbeat to Children and the Needy In Society

Many people may appear happy from the outside, but once they open up with you, you get surprised by how much they are internally suffering and worse without help. Many children in India are born with heart problems among many other health challenges, but never get the necessary help in time. They therefore develop these complications and grow with them to maturity which becomes even worse as they grow old. Most of the affected are from poor and less privileged families which are not able to raise the funds required for effective medical intervention in the form of heart transplants where the affected and diseased heart is removed and replaced with a healthy one. Besides the financial requirements for this procedure to be carried out effectively, a high level medical professionalism is also needed, which is rare in many health facilities within the country. In response to this challenge, Mission heal has rolled out various programs to help relevant institutions carry out the procedures effectively and conveniently. 

The organization therefore handles this problem by providing the necessary help in the following aspects:

Funding
As earlier said, the procedure for heart transplants is quite expensive and many people from the slums and most parts of the country may not be able to raise the capital required. From researches, it is indicated that the poor and needy in society are the most affected by heart failure.Mission Heal comes in to help the needy children and others with the funds for surgery. The organization arranges for volunteers and well wishers to donate the funds for the patients to have the surgery done.


Awareness campaigns
It is true that a number of people in India do not know their heart condition. Through the awareness campaigns organized by Mission Heal, individuals are able to get free checkups and timely help for those diagnosed with heart problems. It is through these campaigns that the affected are identified, shortlisted and taken for further attention in various health care centers.

Pre surgical preparations
These are the various services the patient receives upon arriving at the hospital before the real surgery. This includes identification of donors, mostly the brain dead, psychological and physical tests to ensure compatibility of the heart, pre surgical medication and many more. The processes are carried out while the heart is made ready from the donor by another team. Sourcing of necessary manpower to help the surgeons during the surgery is also part of the preparation at this stage.

After surgery attention
Patients that have received a new heart in the transplant need critical attention so as to ensure they fully recover and be able to function properly. The care at this stage includes special medication and proper nutrition by a specific professional monitoring the progress of recovery and helping the patients when there is needed.


Therapy is also another process that may be necessary after surgery to ensure the patients respond properly to the new organ. Physiotherapists by Mission heal are thus availed to carry out this function and ensure the patients recover fully. Here at Mission Heal we put other people’s lives ahead and ensure that everybody has a good quality life.
