Although the prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) is not uniform across the country, around 200,000 children are born with congenital heart disease in India every year. The major causes for CHD are alcohol intake, use of illegal drugs and OTCs, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, hereditary heart defects, etc.
It is important to keep our heart healthy as it is the vital organ in our system keeping us alive. Let’s pledge to raise awareness for congenital heart disease and extend a helping hand towards these little hearts.
