SPCHS was proposed to be formed with an intention of bringing together all the cardiac surgeons from India and the region, who perform surgery for the congenital heart diseases either exclusively or with major interest. It was formed to create a common platform for exclusive discussions in this field to enhance our knowledge in the related clinical, academic and research areas. The platform aims to allow open discussions on cases, rare clinical findings and complications with a view to improve clinical outcomes and improved patient care. The society aims to improve the overall clinical outcome of congenital heart surgery in India.
