Overview

SAVE A CHILD'S HEART saves the lives of critically ill children suffering from heart disease in countries where access to pediatric heart care is limited or nonexistent. Through bringing children to Israel for medical care, performing missions abroad, and training medical personnel, we are bringing hope to families, communities, and countries. As ISRAEL'S PREEMINENT HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION, we are transforming pediatric cardiac care around the world.
