Faridabad, India
Introduction
Dr. Jay Relan is Senior Consultant for Paediatric Cardiology & Congenital Heart Disease at Sarvodaya. When a baby is born with a heart defect, or when a routine scan during pregnancy flags something unusual with a fetal heart, families end up in his consult room.
About Dr. Jay Relan
Dr. Jay Relan trained at two of Delhi’s most competitive institutions — MD (Paediatrics) at Maulana Azad Medical College, then a DM in Paediatric Cardiology at AIIMS, New Delhi, which is about as rigorous a pathway as this subspecialty offers in India. He’s also completed fellowship training specifically in fetal echocardiography, plus an NHS-accredited course through the UK’s Fetal Medicine Foundation on fetal cardiac screening — meaning his expertise extends to catching heart problems before a baby is even born.
He’s genuinely prolific on the research side too, with over 30 peer-reviewed publications covering everything from arterial switch outcomes to rare structural heart findings in children. Alongside his clinical work, he’s part of the team leading Sarvodaya’s CSR initiative that’s provided over 100 free paediatric cardiac surgeries to underprivileged children, with the program renewed for a second round.

Patient Experience & Approach
For parents, a congenital heart diagnosis in a newborn (or worse, a prenatal scan) is one of the scariest things they’ll hear. Dr. Jay Relan’s approach leans on getting the diagnosis nailed down early and precisely, and fetal echocardiography lets him spot problems before birth in some cases, which changes how a delivery and early care plan gets built. He’s known for staying involved well past the initial diagnosis, tracking a child’s progress rather than handing off and moving on, which matters a great deal to parents navigating something this frightening.
