| Introduction
The All India Heart Foundation(AIHF) can proudly
claim to be one of the first societies of its
kind in Asia. It was formed by a group of physicians
and industrialists at the inspiration of the
doyen of modern cardiology, the late Dr. Paul
Dudley White and registered as a charitable
society in 1962.
Its membership is open not only to specialists
in cardiology but to all doctors and laymen.

Fever patients, most of them from the walled
city, is also located here. The National Heart
Institute(NHI) is an integral part of the Foundation’s
Research Programme and was established in 1981.
It is the first heart institute to be opened
in the country. It is a 100 bedded hospital
with its own building centrally located
