CHIME is a trust formed by the MIOT hospitals, which in association with MIOT Centre for Children's Cardiac Care,  treats under privileged children  who have congenital heart problems in need of immediate heart surgeries even when they are a day old. To identify the children who need help with immediate heart problems, they conduct camps in different districts. They also dispel fears about the congenital heart diseases from the minds of the people and help them live a healthy and carefree life.
