Dr. Manisha Chakrabarti — Senior Consultant in Delhi NCR

Dr. Manisha Chakrabarti is a Senior Consultant at Marengo Asia Hospitals in Faridabad, Delhi NCR, with more than 26 years of experience. Her record lists paediatric cardiology and cardiology.

Her work is diagnostic and catheter-based. Pediatric echocardiography is how a defect in a child's heart is found and measured. ASD, VSD and PDA device closure are the three commonest repairs, each sealing a hole through a catheter threaded up from the groin rather than through an opened chest. Balloon pulmonary valvotomy widens a narrowed pulmonary valve by the same route, and congenital heart disease treatment in children covers the medical management around all of it.

Her qualifications are MBBS, MD in paediatrics and FNB in paediatric cardiology from NBE, and she has taken specialized training at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, one of the largest dedicated children's hospitals anywhere.

She currently practises at Marengo Asia Hospitals in Faridabad, and her earlier posts run through the main cardiac centres of the capital: Escorts Heart Institute, Max Hospitals, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and the Modern Medical Mission.

Her society record shows a sustained organisational role in the field. She is a member of PCSI, the Pediatric Cardiac Society of India, of CSI, the Cardiological Society of India, and of CIAP, and she is immediate past secretary of the paediatric cardiac branch of IAP. Holding office in the branch that represents this subspecialty nationally is a different kind of credential from a clinical one.
