Approximately 8 of every 1000 children in India suffer from
birth heart defects (Congenital Heart Disease CHD). One of the
chronic diseases, therefore, which accounts for almost 20
percent of infant mortality in India is congenital heart
disease. Similarly, almost 1-5% of children develop a rheumatic
fever before the age of 15 years.
