A lot of progress has been made in cardiac surgery and treatment in Nepal over the years. However, there are still important problems with getting access to and paying for the care that patients really need. Since the creation of two big cardiac centers, the Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center (SGNHC) and the Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular Heart and Transplant Center (MCVTC), the number of heart surgeries performed has reached nearly 3000. In a country with 26.6 million people where rheumatic heart disease is common, there is still not enough access, availability, and affordability of care. Neither the government, its two cardiac centers, nor the Trust by itself can handle the growing number of cardiac patients. Everyone has a part to play in helping bring hope and life to those who need it but cannot access it themselves.
