Since the beginning of the treatment process for children with congenital heart defects at the ARCS Cardiac Hospital, heart surgeries have so far been performed on 28 children by local and foreign specialist doctors. Among them, 9 children were discharged from the hospital today after successful treatment and were handed over to their families.

At the hospital, heart surgeries are performed daily on four to six children with congenital heart defects, with all treatment costs covered by the ARCS.

The ARCS Cardiac Hospital was recently opened to provide specialized treatment for patients with congenital heart defects, enabling patients in need to receive free specialized healthcare services within the country.

The ARCS strives to expand its healthcare services to provide access to specialized treatment for vulnerable and underprivileged citizens and to further facilitate their access to healthcare services.
