Save a Child’s Heart is an international non-profit humanitarian organization, based in Israel, with the mission of improving the quality of pediatric cardiac care for children in developing countries and creating centers of competence in these countries. We were founded by DR. AMI Cohen in 1995 at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel.
Every Tuesday, Save a Child’s Heart hosts a free clinic to screen, diagnose and follow up with children from the Palestinian Authority and Gaza. Each week, approximately 20 to 25 Palestinian children are screened. In 2019, we screened 576 Palestinian children.

Since 2017, SACH has been building the Children's Hospital and International Pediatric Cardiac Center to encompass all pediatric-related activity benefiting catchment area children and children from around the world. The IPCC will be the Middle East's largest pediatric cardiac center.
The children we treat and their caregivers are housed at the Children's Home during their time in Israel. It is a warm place filled with laughter where often, the only common language is a smile.

Our volunteer opportunities provide a behind-the-scenes look into the Save a Child's Heart Children’s Home. Volunteers are responsible for organizing games and activities for the children, as well as acting as a friend and a familiar face. Volunteers are crucial for providing care and emotional support to the kids and their families during their stay in Israel, pre- and post-procedure.
