OUR PROJECT

For children with severe heart conditions there is often only one survival option: an operation - often very urgent and very specialized.
In Romania over 900 children with severe heart conditions are born every year, and there are very few clinics available to have them operated and treated properly.
It is inefficient, complicated and far too expensive to send all sick children for treatment abroad. Sometimes it's simply impossible! Sometimes its far too urgent!
In the Southern and Eastern parts of Romania there is no center for pediatric heart surgery available.
The Maria Sklodowska Curie Children's Hospital (also known as Budimex) in Bucharest has a recently built hospital wing, where the first heart-surgery department dedicated exclusively to children will function.
Our Association and the Hospital will establish there an operating room and an intensive care unit. For now, the space looks like in the pictures, but they soon will look like a high performance medical center.
The shopping list is obviously long! You can help us make it shorter.
Our project is endorsed by the Romanian Ministry of Health, of the Hospital Board and is pushed forward by specialized doctors who intend to come and work within the new department. What might seem unbelievable is that some of them plan to repatriate to be of use to our children.
We are trying to raise, with your help, at least 500.000 EURO, the minimal amount with which the new department can become functional. If you can help, please visit the HELP US page.
