Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 5: The Ram Mangal Heart Foundation, founded by renowned cardiologist Dr. Ranjit Jagtap, has emerged as a beacon of hope for cardiac patients across India. With its mission to provide accessible and affordable cardiac care to underprivileged communities, the foundation has made significant strides in transforming the landscape of cardiac healthcare in the country.
Dr. Ranjit Jagtap, a distinguished cardiologist with over three decades of experience, established the Ram Mangal Heart Foundation with a vision to bridge the gap in cardiac care accessibility. His expertise in performing complex cardiac procedures and his commitment to social welfare have been the driving forces behind the foundation’s success.
Since its inception, the Ram Mangal Heart Foundation has achieved numerous milestones, including the recent completion of over 4,079 cardiac surgeries, making it the first unit in Pune to reach this remarkable feat. The foundation offers a comprehensive range of services, from preventive care to advanced surgical interventions, ensuring that patients receive holistic cardiac care regardless of their economic background.
Under the leadership of Dr. Ranjit Jagtap’s daughters, Aditi Jagtap and Poulami Jagtap, who serve as directors, the foundation has continued to thrive and innovate.
