Since 1995, Save a Child's Heart has treated over 5,000 children suffering from congenital and rheumatic heart disease. Approximately 50% of the children are from the Palestinian Authority and Gaza, Iraq, and Morocco, more than 40% are from Africa, and the remainder are from Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Americas.
SACH trains medical personnel from partner sites around the world at the Wolfson Medical Center in Israel in all facets of pediatric cardiac care. They then return to their home countries to help children in need.
