About the doctor
Dr. Manoj Durairaj established Pune's heart transplant programme and has performed 15,000+ cardiac surgeries across three decades, many pro-bono for patients unable to afford private care. He served as 55th President of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons (IACTS) for 2024–25, the highest elected position in Indian cardiothoracic surgery. Trained in India and internationally, he is based at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, and is a visiting heart-transplant faculty across Western India, running one of the region's most accessible heart-failure surgical programmes. His humanitarian work with under-resourced paediatric and adult cardiac patients has been recognised by multiple government and professional bodies; his Wikipedia biography documents his role in establishing Pune as a destination for complex heart-failure care.
