We are particularly interested in providing surgical repair for children who have congenital heart diseases (CHD).
Provide free state of the art medical care for all Ladakhi citizens who have cardiovascular disease who can not afford treatment.
Become a referral hospital for Indian citizens living in adjacent states who have cardiovascular disease.
Provide health education for the inhabitants of Ladakh that will enable them to prevent cardiovascular disease and seek treatment when it is appropriate to do so.
Health education would focus, primarily, on the issues of preventing rheumatic heart disease, hypertension and coronary artery disease. It will also focus on the early detection of congenital heart disease.
Health education will be provided at both the LHF campus in Leh, and by means of an outreach program that is already active and going to many of the remote villages of Ladakh.
Implement research projects, as the need arises, to provide ourselves with the information we need to improve our ability to prevent and treat cardiovascular illness
