Imphal, June 07 2025: The Regional Institute ofMedi-cal Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, has successfully organised a Paediatric Cardiac Surgery Camp from June 2 to 6, 2025 at the Regional Paediatric Cardiothoracic Centre.

As per a release issued by RIMS, this marked the third such camp conducted in collaboration with Healing Little Hearts (HLH), a UKbased charitable organization dedicated to treating children with congenital heart disease in low-resource settings.

The visiting HLH surgical team was led by renowned paediatric cardiac surgeon Dr Nayem Raja from Health City, Guwahati.

The camp was fully supported by the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) under the National Health Mission (NHM), Manipur, which funded all surgeries and post-operative care.

A total of six children diagnosed with congenital heart defects underwent successful corrective surgeries during the camp.

The procedures included two Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) repairs and four Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) repairs, all performed under Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB).

All patients are currently recovering well at RIMS.
