In a groundbreaking move, the UNM Foundation has partnered with Ahmedabad's UN Mehta Institute of Cardiology to offer full financial aid for heart transplants to needy patients.

The agreement ensures comprehensive financial support, making life-saving treatments accessible to those who cannot afford the costs. Advanced heart failure patients, who are unresponsive to standard medical treatments, will benefit greatly from this initiative. Effective from June 1, 2024, it aims to ease the financial burden of advanced heart failure.
