Nine-year-old Miracle Nkanda from Malawi has become the 9,000th child to receive life-saving heart treatment through Save a Child’s Heart.
Born with a complex congenital heart condition that could not be treated in Malawi, Miracle travelled to Israel without her family, accompanied by a nurse, to undergo surgery at the Sylvan Adams Children’s Hospital at Wolfson Medical Center. Her surgery, performed by the Save a Child’s Heart medical team, was successful.
This extraordinary milestone marks 9,000 children from 75 countries whose lives have been transformed since Save a Child’s Heart was founded in 1995.
Miracle is also the 22nd child from Malawi to receive life-saving treatment in Israel since Save a Child’s Heart began working with the country in 2019.
Beyond treating children,Save a Child’s Heart is helping build sustainable paediatric cardiac care incountries where it is limited or unavailable.
