Ranchi, Oct. 31 -- Bringing a ray of hope for hundreds of poor families, the Jharkhand government will provide free treatment and surgery to over 350 children suffering from congenital heart disease, with the government bearing expenses up to Rs.15 lakh per child. Health minister Irfan Ansari launched the ambitious 'Gift of Life' programme on Friday in Ranchi, in collaboration with Amrita Hospital, Kochi. On the first day, a team of cardiologists screened around 380 children from various districts of the state. Ansari said, "I have seen poverty.
