Some of the challenges I face in my career include reducing mortality rates and improving morbidity rates in sick patients with complex congenital heart diseases. I also work towards reducing the risk of post-operative infections and implementing new technologies in patients with cardiac malformations. The implementation of  cardiac care programmes and humanitarian care programmes and postings in developing countries are also essential parts of my work.
