This cost-effective cardiac assist device requires no pump or control system and is an attempt to improve quality of life and reduce heart care costs for millions of patients across the globe. Dr K M Cherian, Chairman and CEO of Frontier Mediville, said, “This collaboration is a historical milestone and we are glad that Frontier Lifeline Hospital is the only private hospital which has been selected for the AISRF.”

More than $100 million has been committed towards AISRF and the programme has  supported around 300 collaborative activities.
