Dr. Rajesh Sharma is a colossus in the field of congenital heart surgery. His journey began at the premier AIIMS, New Delhi, where he served as an Additional Professor before leading pediatric cardiac departments at Indiaโ€™s top private healthcare institutions.

He is uniquely recognized for his “Biventricular Repair” philosophyโ€”a complex surgical approach that aims to give children a two-ventricle heart instead of the single-ventricle (Fontan) alternative whenever possible. This dedication to long-term quality of life has made him a preferred choice for international patients. Dr. Sharma has not only saved thousands of lives but has also mentored a new generation of cardiac surgeons who now practice across the globe.
