Dr. Ashutosh Marwah — Director of Paediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease in Delhi NCR

Dr. Ashutosh Marwah is Director of Paediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute in Delhi NCR, with more than 28 years of experience. He is listed in pediatric cardiac surgery and cardiology.

The two halves of his title matter. Children born with heart defects now grow into adults who still need specialist cardiac care, and a department covering both means a patient is not discharged from paediatric services at eighteen with nowhere obvious to go. His procedures are pediatric echocardiography, congenital heart disease treatment in children, ASD, VSD and PDA device closure, and balloon pulmonary valvotomy. All four interventions are performed through a catheter rather than by opening the chest.

He read MBBS and took MD in paediatrics at Maulana Azad Medical College under Delhi University, then completed two fellowships in pediatric cardiology, one at Escorts Heart Institute in New Delhi and one at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

His hospital record covers most of the major cardiac centres in the capital. Besides Fortis Hospital in Okhla he has worked at Apollo Indraprastha Hospital, Jaypee Hospital, Fortis Flight Lt. Rajan Dhall Hospital, the Narayana Hrudayalaya Institute of Cardiac Sciences, the Delhi Heart and Lung Institute and Escorts Heart Institute, along with the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.

He is a member of the Pediatric Cardiac Society of India and of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, the two bodies covering the paediatric and cardiac sides of his practice.
