Every year in Tanzania, more than 7,000 children with congenital heart diseases and adolescents with rheumatic valvular heart diseases await open heart surgery.
One in 200 children is born with a congenital heart disease and they needlessly succumb to a premature and painful death, due to unavailability of local paediatric cardiac surgery.
Regency Medical Centre in collaboration with Tanzania Heart Foundation, Lions Club of Dar-es-Salaam (Host) and The Ministry of Health, Tanzania, have helped more than 1,200 children with successful heart surgeries to date.
