Dr. Benedict Raj is one of the foremost pediatric cardiac surgeons of India. He has worked at some of the most prestigious medical institutions in India and abroad, and brings his rich experience to the table. A firm believer that timely medical intervention can successfully treat many of the life-threatening cardiac conditions faced by several children and adults today, he has several success stories to his credit. An intrepid cardiac surgeon, Dr. Benedict effortlessly performs several complex surgeries like redo surgeries, for one, which even many experienced surgeons are reluctant to undertake because of the risks involved. His intention has always been and continues to be: providing world class cardiac healthcare to children and adults at affordable prices and with minimal morbidity. To his end, he has developed a system of pre-surgery preparation whereby the patient is thoroughly prepared and optimized for the surgery, so that there are no delays at any stage of the surgery and minimal anesthesia is required. His post-surgery care is a fast-track method so that the patient requires minimum hospital stay.This reduces the cost burden for the patient and their family.
Dr. Benedict is a trained cardiothoracic surgeon whose specialty is valve repair treatments. It is his conviction – that patients whose valves are repaired rather than replaced will be able to lead normal lives and take part in physical activities – that led him to perfect this very difficult procedure. Dr. Benedict also opines that of the children born with congenital heart defects, (8 in a thousand) at least half of them require surgery, and of those, 80% have a good chance of survival if treated at the right time, and they can become productive members of the society.
Dr. Benedict also has experience as an adult congenital cardiac surgeon, and has performed several surgeries on adults with congenital as well as degenerative cardiac problems before he decided to concentrate on pediatric cardiac surgery. His international experience has helped him develop techniques that reduce risks associated with cardiac surgery. We have already treated patients from Nigeria, Kenya, and other African Countries like Sudan, Egypt, Algeria, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Tanzania, and Zambia.
