Healing Broken Hearts in Israel and Around the World

Save a Child’s Heart has been dedicated to saving lives and repairing broken hearts for nearly 30 years. During the ongoing war, Save a Child's Heart will treat Israeli casualties and patients and support the emergency, wartime needs of the Wolfson Medical Center while continuing our lifesaving work of treating children with congenital heart disease around the globe.

We have stayed committed to our mission during these unprecedented times, knowing that we are the only hope for survival for children dying of heart disease in many countries. Since October 7, 2023, we have treated over 200 children from developing countries. In fact, we have now treated a total of 7,240 children from 70 countries since our founding.

Even in the face of conflict and uncertainty, our doctors and team have remained committed to their mission of saving lives. Their unwavering dedication and courage are truly inspiring.

Continuing Global Care for Children
Save a Child’s Heart has remained steadfast in our mission to treat children suffering from heart disease in countries where access to pediatric heart care is limited or nonexistent. Our Children’s Home is at full capacity with nearly 35 children, primarily from Africa, at any given time.

Urgent Needs of Israeli Children's Hospital
On October 7, 2023, our hospitals became trauma centers for those injured and impacted from the war.  Whether it was moving the NICU to a safer place or more women from the south seeking treatment, the hospital quickly pivoted to meet the needs on the ground, and Save a Child’s Help quickly stepped in to help the hospital meet those needs.

Supporting Israeli Children in Time of Need
Needs are ongoing, but in times of war some needs are inherently critical to life-saving work. We need your help as we work to create new children’s emergency room facilities stocked with supplies. This will allow us to support the ongoing needs of the children’s hospital and provide the best care for the Israelis on the ground.

To treat children with Save a Child’s Heart is such a great honor, and I’m very grateful to be a part of it because we are giving care to children who did not have access to catheterization, even open heart care.

 - Dr. Lise Mumporeze, SACH Fellow from Rwanda

Responding to the wartime emergency medical needs of Israel has not only been a humanitarian imperative but has also profoundly shaped our identity. By extending our expertise and resources to address these critical needs, we have strengthened our position as Israel’s leading international humanitarian organization.
