SAVE A CHILD'S HEART FOUNDATION

SAVES CHILDREN'S LIVES

Through our programs in Israel and abroad, we provide life-saving cardiac treatment to children from developing countries and train health care professionals from these countries to have the skills to deliver quality care in their home communities.

Save a Child’s Heart saves children with congenital and acquired heart defects who have almost no chance of surviving to adulthood in their native countries.

To date, Save a Child's Heart has saved the lives of more than 7,000 children from 70 countries in Africa, South America, Europe, Asia, and throughout the Middle East and trained more than 140 medical team members from these countries.

They say “whoever saves a life saves the world." It is a daily pleasure to bring healing and peace to children’s hearts, and to be surrounded by the SACH community of unity and love.

– Dr. Sagi Assa, Wolfson Medical Center
