Heart Care Foundation of India (herein after “HCFI”) Trust was established in the year 1986 with the objectives to establish, operate, promote, run and manage institutions engaged in the advancement of research work pertaining to cardiology / preventive cardiology and to provide research facilities for carrying out basic and applied research. Since 1986 HCFI has been engaged in providing all kinds of medical aid and facilities to the people in need but not having sufficient resources at their disposal.
The trust uses consumer-based entertainment modules to impart health education and increase awareness amongst people. A leading example of this is the Perfect Health Mela, an annual event started in 1993 and attended by over 2-3 lakhs people each year.
The Perfect Health Mela showcases activities across categories such as health education seminars and check-ups, entertainment programs, lifestyle exhibitions, lectures, workshops and competitions.
HCFI conduct programs and camps to train people in essential life-saving techniques like Hands-only CPR for revival after sudden cardiac arrest.
HCFI has devised an easy to remember Hands-only CPR 10 mantra and has manikins, which are used to provide on-ground training.
HCFI currently holds three Limca Book of World Records for the maximum number of people trained in Hands only CPR 10 in one go. Keeping Article 21 of the Constitution of India in mind, which guarantees ‘Right-to-life’, to a person,
HCFI also successfully runs a project called the “Sameer Malik Heart Care Foundation Fund” based on the fundamental principle that no one should die of a heart disease just because they cannot afford treatment. Through this initiative, HCFI provides technical and financial assistance to all those patients with heart disease belonging to economically weaker sections of the society and need of surgical intervention. In the last 2 years, the lives of over 400 heart patients have been saved through this initiative.
HCFI also regularly conducts preventive health camps in schools on a regular basis on topics such as tackling obesity, health and sanitation.
HCFI is the only NGO in the country on whose community-based health awareness events, the Government of India has released two commemorative National stamps (Rs. 1 in 1991 for Run For The Heart Event and Rs. 6.50 in 1993 on Heart Care Festival on the occasion of the First Perfect Health Mela). On February 2012, the Government of Rajasthan also released one Cancellation Stamp (2012) for organizing a first of its kind mega health camp at Ajmer.
HCFI through its trustees has felt and realized that in many cases, people suffering from various medical problems and ailments including acute physical and mental stress resulting from various issues and problems which require immediate legal redressal. However, in the absence of proper legal advice and support, they also suffer from various health problems especially heart problems. For the above pupose, HCFI has felt genuine need to establish and set up a legal cell for giving proper and bonafide legal advice and support to the weaker and needy people on charitable basis.
