Details of the ongoing CSR Initiatives
A. CHD Programme
Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is a neonatal birth defect due to abnormal development of the heart that could involve the interior walls of the heart, the valves inside the heart, or the arteries and veins that carry blood to the heart or the body. CHD affects approximately nine out of 1,000 new – born children and is one of the leading causes of infant mortality. Around 90% of CHD-affected children can be treated if diagnosed early, even better if it gets detected before birth.
Terumo India partnered with Aishwarya Trust to support Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) Programme which aim at raising awareness about congenital heart disease among children. Terumo India in collaboration with Aishwarya Trust, which is a charitable organization, seeks to reduce the number of preventable deaths associated with CHD
Aishwarya Trust organizes various camps in the remote areas of Chennai and many southern regions to detect the children who are suffering from CHD. Terumo takes part in these screening camps organized by Aishwarya to identify the children at an early stage to contribute to lessen their pain.
Terumo India also participates in the Annual Day organized by Aishwarya every year to honor the contributions of all the Donors.
