Methods: This study was conducted over a period from March 2016 to June 2017 prospectively and all patients with CHD was diagnosed by Color Doppler Echocardiography aging from 1st day of life to 12 years were included in the study.

Results: Acyanotic CHD was most common among CHD. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) was the commonest acyanotic congenital heart disease 100 (35.7 %) followed by Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) 77 (27.5 %). Commonest cyanotic CHD was Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) 9 (3.2 %). Only 25.36 % CHD were diagnosed during neonatal period whereas 54.64 % were diagnosed during the period of 29 days to completion of 12 months. Most of the patient (63.21%) were male.
