About Dr. Neeraj Awasthi
Dr. Neeraj Awasthi is the Director of Paediatric Cardiology at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Okhla, New Delhi — one of India's most iconic cardiac hospitals. With over 22 years of dedicated experience in paediatric and congenital heart disease, Dr. Awasthi is widely regarded as one of the foremost paediatric cardiologists in the country. Dr. Awasthi specialises in the diagnosis and interventional management of congenital heart defects (CHD) in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. He is highly skilled in catheter-based interventional procedures including balloon valvuloplasty, ASD/VSD/PDA device closures, coarctation of aorta stenting, and pulmonary artery interventions — enabling children to avoid open-heart surgery wherever possible. He also has extensive expertise in foetal echocardiography, enabling the early detection and planning of management for complex congenital heart anomalies before birth. Dr. Awasthi leads a multidisciplinary congenital heart disease team at Fortis Escorts that brings together paediatric cardiologists, congenital cardiac surgeons, and neonatologists to deliver comprehensive, integrated care. International families from South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa regularly travel to Fortis Escorts Okhla specifically for Dr. Awasthi's expertise in complex paediatric cardiac interventions.
