Marian Cardiac Center

Marian Cardiac Center Marian Cardiac Centre and Research Foundation was established in 1990. A large number of patients attend the outpatient services.

Marian Cardiac Centre and Research Foundation is well known for providing comprehensive cardiac and cardiac surgical care. The Marian Cardiac Centre and Research Foundation provides the latest diagnostic facilities and conducts cardiac camps in rural India. Invasive, interventional and cardiac surgical procedures are carried out in other centres, an arrangement that is cost-ineffective and lacks patient satisfaction. Many poor and marginalized patients are denied advanced cardiac treatment including surgery due to lack of adequate funds. Therefore, it is felt that establishing a state of the art cardiac centre will provide dedicated cardiac surgical and interventional services under one roof and is cost effective.

“Dad was a cardiac physician in the Army. So, my bedtime stories were a little different than other kids–he'd mostly talk about his surgeries and the lives he saved.
When I was 9, I asked him, ‘Can I come with you today?’ And after that, on every Sunday, I'd go with him–sit in his office with his students and watch slides on how surgeries took place. I’d think, ‘I’ll be like him when I grow up!’
Over time, my passion grew stronger. And after years of studying, I became a cardiac surgeon; I started my own clinic. Alongside, Dad and I ran a trust where we treated underprivileged patients for free. People from across the country would come to us; it was overwhelming to see the difference we were making.
But I hadn’t anticipated how many challenges being a doctor would bring–whether it was remaining cool in a crisis or calming down the loved ones of patients. But the toughest part was dealing with failure–those inevitable cases where nothing could be done. When I lost my first patient, I went days without sleep, withdrew into a shell, and didn’t operate for weeks. It took a lot of time to learn to handle the losses and realise that I had to keep going–for the lives that I could save!
And there were days when I got to witness miracles, too. I still remember operating on a very young girl, who had a hole in her heart. She came to us through the trust–she couldn't afford surgery; we were her last hope. And even though her surgery had complications, we managed to save her. 12 years later, she visited me with her husband and her children to tell me about her life. She said, ‘Everything I have is because of you.’ Her words are still imprinted on my heart!
And in 2017, I performed my first heart transplant–it was also the first in Pune. The donor was a 14-year-old boy, who’d collapsed from a sunstroke, and was declared brain dead–he was the only son of a farmer. His parents were devastated, but to our surprise, his father said, ‘I want to donate his heart.’ And because of that brave family, a 50-year-old woman got the gift of life! Today, she’s healthy and thriving!
And till date, one of the most special cases I've had was Prerana. She was only 12, and her heart was very weak. She needed a heart transplant, but her family couldn't afford the post-op treatment, despite the surgery being free. That's when we made a decision–our trust adopted her!
Once we found a donor, we successfully conducted the operation, Prerana recovered well, and even today, the trust looks after her. Recently, she passed her 10th grade with flying colours. And when I congratulated her and asked, 'So what will you do in life now?' She said, 'I want to be a doctor and save people like you!' I guess, it's true what they say–life does come full circle!"
