1000 SURGERIES CONSOLIDATE ABC-KARDIAS PEDIATRIC HEART CENTER AS A CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE CARE IN MEXICO
On December 28, 2023, the ABC-Kardias Pediatric Heart Center performed its thousandth surgery. This incredible milestone would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors. Since its founding, the CPC has stood out for offering excellent medical care to children with heart diseases, regardless of their economic situation.
With a team of 64 healthcare professionals dedicated full-time to the Kardias Program, the CPC performs over 100 surgeries a year. In 2023, 86% of the 155 surgeries performed were for low-income patients, thanks to the contributions from our donors. This inclusive approach extends to families referred by public health institutions and those with limited or extensive private medical insurance.
We are deeply grateful to our donors for their unwavering support, which has allowed the CPC to successfully operate on the hearts of 1,126 children from all 32 states in the country. Your generosity has enabled us to employ not only traditional surgery with an average survival rate of 98.1% over the past three years, but also less invasive techniques such as therapeutic catheterizations.
Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of so many children and their families. Your support is vital in continuing our mission of providing excellent medical care to all who need it.
