Sponsorship provides the opportunity to witness young children given a fresh lease of life. It provides immense satisfaction to the individual.

Individuals or organizations willing to sponsor children for surgery will be asked to select the children from our list. Children will be taken up for surgery accordingly and the details will be intimated to the donors. The donors can come to the hospital and look up the children who are undergoing surgery, meet the family members and follow-up the progress of the child.

Each individual child presents different clinical conditions. The surgery cost includes the consumables (items used in surgery) and pharmaceuticals used for each child. In highly complex cases valves and conduits are used that are very expensive. On an average the open heart surgery costs Rs.1.5 lacs to Rs.1.8lacs (US $4000 approximately) and a closed heart or interventional surgery costs Rs.80,000/- to 1 lac (US $2500 approximately). In cases where conduit or valves are used the surgery cost goes up to 3 lacs.

In Andhra Pradesh the funds required to cover the cost of the surgery will be borne by a combination of Save a Child's Heart, the government and Apollo Hospitals.

In states other than A.P the funds required to cover the cost of surgery will be borne by SACH and Apollo Hospitals.

The donor component per surgery is Rs.30,000/-. (In Andhra Pradesh). Out side A.P as the Govt contribution is not available it differs for different surgeries.
