Welcome to the Kawasaki Disease Foundation in India, a non-profit organization to take care of children with Kawasaki Disease in India, especially to support children with coronary artery disease. I hope KDFI will run with the support of Health care professionals, well wishers of KD, parents and patients dedicated to advancing Kawasaki Disease issues. The Foundation focuses on awareness, support, and encourages research in KD. Establishing this kind of a KD foundation & official web site for the care of Kawasaki disease children in India was my dream for past many years andfullfilled on the occasion of first state summit on KD.  I had oppertunity to attend the international Kawasaki symposium every three years held at various parts of the world.

KDFI and its official website has been launched on October 24th 2010 during the first Kawasaki Syndrome summit held at St Gregorios Cardio-Vascular Centre, Parumala, Kerala India. KDFI was inaugurated by Prof. H.C.Lue, founder of Cardiac care Foundation & KD foundation in Taiwan. He was the one who reported the first case of KD in Taiwan. Web site was inaugurated by 5 year old Nandu, a case of Kawasaki coronary artery disease with giant aneurysm. I believe almighty God will bless KDFI to meet the needs of children with coronary artery disease.
