Dear Parents! Congenital heart disease is not a sentence. A child with a disease is a big tragedy. No one except parents can comprehend it. At such moments, the family can only think about one thing – how to save the baby? There is only one answer. You should accept reality and immediately refer to professionals in order to have a chance to help.
What do children’s doctors want? They’d rather be out of work than see suffering children. And if this is not possible, then let our and your efforts help children recover or improve their condition where cure is impossible. If the God allowed diseases to appear, that’s also him, who teached us how to deal with them. If your child has a congenital heart disease, only you, together with professional doctors, can perform a miracle. Sincerely, David Berishvili.

Jerarsi is the first multidisciplinary clinic in Georgia, built and equipped according to modern European standards. Technical support of the treatment process, quality of equipment, security system, isolated ventilation of wards and operating rooms – all elements meet international requirements. Highly qualified staff and the newest equipment at the Jerarsi Clinic allow us to make an accurate diagnosis in time. This helps to choose the right tactics and begin treatment on the postnatal day. The right tactics is not always just operative intervention. With many heart defects, properly chosen medication improves the child’s condition, allows to delay an operation and prepare for it.
The team of cardiovascular surgeons of Jerarsi collaborates with specialists in other fields – pediatrics, gastroenterology, critical medicine (critical care medicine), anesthesiology, radiology, rehabilitation and nutritiology (dietary science studying human nutrition). Because of such multidisciplinary cooperation, each patient receives an individual treatment. During the stay in the hospital, our patients are always under our attention. Our goal is to achieve the best result.
Doctors of the CHD Department perform diagnostics, medicamental and surgical treatment of the entire spectrum of congenital heart diseases detected at an early age. Apart from specialized professionals (cardiologists, resuscitators and other doctors, nursing patients), our surgeons are always in the clinic or within the hourly availability. You can get the consultation and assistance of a cardiovascular surgeon 24/7 during the entire stay of your child in the hospital. Such a comprehensive approach provides an optimal treatment result.
