Our mission is to awaken each and every fellow Indian from the ignorance of heart disease, educate them on prevention and early detection of heart disease and inform them about cost effective, non-surgical cardiac treatments.
Institute of Preventive Cardiology Foundation which has been established since last ten years is a registered charitable trust with a aim of providing preventive and non-invasive cost effective cardiac care to economically weaker sections of the society.
90% of the patients who have been advised bypass surgery and angioplasty cannot even afford the treatment in Municipal hospitals forget private hospitals as the minimum cost is from 70,000/- onwards.
At IPC we provide cost effective non-surgical cardiac treatments to heart patients who cannot even afford municipal hospitals. Indirectly we are doing work what government agencies should have done. We have successfully treated more than 5000 critical heart patients with more than 90 – 100% blockages when they were advised immediate bypass surgeries by their cardiologist.
