Children's Heart- LIFE-SAVING CARDIAC SURGERY

Due the covid restrictions which strictly reduce the traveling possibilities aroun the world  we have to remodulate the programm: we have moved pur investements to the local hospital to give them the opportunity to proceed with surgical interventations. 

We have the responsibility to mantain our engagemet with the communities to guarantee the right to health service access, so we have enforced the training programm through a specific platform for doctors and health operators. 

The mail goal of Children'Hearth Programm is  to save children with serious heart defects, born in developing Countries and to enablelocal hospitals to be autonomous, through capacity building and training by volunteer doctors who work alongside local doctors and we want to make local hospitals  self-sufficient in treating heart diseases in children (diagnosis, surgical treatment and follow up).
