    The Heart Care Foundation, an NGO dedicated to heart care, has consistently supported heart patients and their well-being. Recognizing the rising number of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) patients in Kerala, the Foundation has shifted its focus towards preventing CVD through early detection and awareness creation. Kerala leads in the number of CVD cases among states, as highlighted by a joint study in 2018. The Foundation acknowledges the urgency to address this health crisis, especially incidents of young individuals succumbing to cardiac arrest, leaving families in distress.

    The Foundation is embarking on a challenging yet ambitious and unique project aimed at preventing CVD through awareness and early detection. The initial pilot study focuses on Alangad Grama Panchayath in a three-phased program. The project's objective includes prevention, heart literacy awareness, and early detection of CVD.

    The Telemedicine program, successfully trialed, is set for formal implementation from Friday, April 12, 2019. This joint venture involves Lisie Hospital & Heart Care Foundation with technical support from MAGICS. The program aims to serve as a tool to reach underprivileged individuals in remote locations of Kerala, where heart disease holds the top position in terms of mortality, followed by cancer. With the exponential growth of non-communicable diseases like hypertension and diabetes, the program's primary objective is to strengthen Primary Health Centres (PHCs) in detecting early signs of diseases and providing expert opinions.

    The initiative seeks to revolutionize healthcare delivery in remote areas of the state, empowering Medical Officers at PHCs to identify and address cases early on. The program facilitates patients coming to PHCs, and discussing their concerns with a Cardiologist at Lisie Hospital through telemedicine, thereby gaining expert opinions.
