The Chairman and Board of Trustees provide strategic leadership, governance, and oversight for the IJN Foundation. They play a vital role in ensuring that the Foundation's mission is fulfilled with integrity, transparency, and impact.

Our Purpose

Our Mission

Our mission is clear: to raise, manage, and administer funds that enhance the healthcare of cardiovascular patients, promote research and education in the field, and assist in improving public health. By focusing on these areas, we aim to make lasting strides in improving heart health and supporting those who need it most.

Our Impact

Our Pillars of Impact

The Foundation's work is centered around four key pillars:

1. Patient Assistance Programme

We are committed to alleviating the financial burdens faced by underprivileged heart patients, enabling them to receive the necessary medical treatments and surgeries at IJN.

2. Research & Clinical Trials/Studies

We provide essential funding for groundbreaking cardiovascular research and clinical trials. These studies help improve early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment methods, contributing to better heart health outcomes.

3. Educational & Training Programmes

Education and continuous learning are essential to improving healthcare. We fund educational initiatives and training programs that focus on cardiovascular health, ensuring healthcare professionals have the knowledge and skills needed to provide optimal patient care.
