Doctors who undertook CSR based initiatives including those from the Ramagya Foundation and International Bhagwan Mahavir Hospital, New Delhi were honored for their efforts.

Speaking about this, Padma Shri Awardee, Dr KK Aggarwal, President, HCFI, said, “We are happy to host the fifth anniversary of the Sameer Malik Heart Care Foundation Fund. It is heartening to see the performances by the beneficiaries and to witness them in good health. We believe that through mass awareness, timely intervention and financial support, majority of the heart diseases can be prevented and cured.  We have successfully saved over 1700 lives through the Foundation and will continue to do so in the future. We thank the Malik family for all their support.”

The Sameer Malik Heart Care Foundation Fund was launched five years ago with the basic ideology that no person should die of a heart disease just because of their economical background. Any such person, in need of surgical intervention and cannot otherwise afford treatment can apply for the benefits of the fund. Once shortlisted, the surgeries are performed at leading hospitals including Medanta – the Medicity and National Heart Institute. The foundation has directly financially sponsored over 300 such pro-bono surgeries till date and over 1700 patients belonging to economically weaker sections of the society have already been helped and treated.

Mr Deep Malik from the Malik family in his statement said, “I congratulate Dr KK Aggarwal and HCFI on their efforts to helping keep my brother Sameer Malik’s legacy alive through every life saved. With the increasing incidence of lifestyle diseases specially amongst a younger population, it is important to raise mass level awareness about the evils of eating junk food, smoking and drinking. We pledge our support to the NGO and will continue to support this initiative.”
