Message from the President

Dear Colleagues and Fellows,

As we step into 2026, we find ourselves at a defining moment for advanced heart failure and transplantation care in India. The burden of end-stage heart and lung disease continues to rise, presenting challenges that are complex, urgent, and deeply human. At the same time, our collective expertise, commitment, and innovation have never been stronger.

The Society for Heart Failure & Transplantation (SFHFT) stands at the forefront of this transformation. What began as a forum for knowledge exchange has evolved into a dynamic platform driving education, research, collaboration, and system-building across the country. Our members—clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and allied professionals—are shaping the future of therapies such as mechanical circulatory support, ECMO, and transplantation through shared experience and evidence-based practice.

In the year ahead, our focus will remain firmly on access, innovation, and strengthening systems of care. We are committed to reducing regional disparities, supporting indigenous research, and adapting global advances to meet the unique needs of our population. Through registries, academic programs, and collaborative networks, we aim to build sustainable models of excellence that extend beyond individual centers.

The patient who arrives tomorrow depends on the systems we build today. Let us work together to move from isolated achievements to an integrated, nationwide ecosystem of care—one that delivers hope, equity, and survival.
I invite each of you to actively engage with SFHFT as we continue this important journey together.

Warm regards,

Dr Jabir Abdullakutty

Message from the Secretary

Dear Colleagues and Fellows,
 
As we stand in 2026, the challenge before us is both immense and urgent. The burden of advanced heart and lung failure in India is rising at an unprecedented scale. Yet, so is our collective capability to confront it.
 
The Society for Heart Failure & Transplantation (SFHFT) is no longer just a forum, it is the operational engine of progress in this field. We are the clinicians, surgeons, researchers, and allied specialists who don’t just witness the frontier of advanced therapies like VADs, ECMO, and Transplantation; we expand it every day. Our shared experiences, documented in national registries and debated in our conferences, are building a uniquely Indian protocol for saving lives.
 
This year, our focus sharpens on ACCESS, INNOVATION, and SYSTEM STRENGTHENING. We will work to bridge the alarming geographic and socioeconomic gaps in care. We will champion home-grown research and tailor global innovations to our population’s needs. Most critically, we will empower every member to become a nodal point of excellence in their region.
 
The patient referred tomorrow needs the system we build today. Let 2026 be the year we move from isolated excellence to a networked ecosystem of survival. The mission is clear, and our mandate is vital.
 
Let’s build this future, together.

Dr Manoj Durairaj
