We started our organization under the name of Gujarat Cardiothoracic Surgeons’ Club.  Our group met for the first time at Hotel Fortune Landmark, Ahmedabad on 23 June 2009 and formed an Association with a strength of 36 surgeons from all over Gujarat.

We passed a resolution to make our strength and presence in society felt by good work and creating awareness in public.  At Gujarat Cardiothoracic  Surgeons’ Club, we have organised more than 100 CME programmes till today with various national and international faculty members.

At present, the strength of the organisation has increased to more than 150 surgeons, as more and more surgeons have settled in different parts of Gujarat and have started contributing to more than 75 hospitals all over the state, with their cardiac surgery skills.

We also successfully organised three major academic and educational meetings under the guidance and with the support of Indian Association of Cardiothoracic Surgeons (IACTS). These meetings were, IACTS Techno college – CME in 2013 and 2023; and Annual IACTS meeting in 2020, which recorded a historically high attendance by almost 2000 delegates and faculty. This meeting was jointly organised with international associations of Cardiothoracic Surgeons, like AATS, EACTS, ANZSCTS and ASCVTS.

Members of our Association have also successfully contested elections to the Executive Committee of IACTS and contributed to the functioning of that association at National level.

At present, cardiothoracic surgeons of Gujarat are serving the patients of Gujarat state and also, the patients from the neighbouring states of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

Our members are well versed in all the latest and modern treatments in the field of cardiothoracic surgery including minimally invasive cardiac surgery,  endovascular graft surgery, TAVR, open cardiac and thoracic surgery, video assisted thoracic surgery in addition to routine CABG surgery and high risk and complex open surgical procedures.

Most of our members are also catering to the poor and needy patients of lower economic strata seeking treatment through welfare schemes.
