Description:
We funded heart surgeries in Kharkiv in May/June 2008. November 8-15, 2008 we are headed to Kyiv. Every year over 6000 children are born in Ukraine with genetic heart disease, a dramatic increase since the Chernobyl nuclear accident of 1986. Over half of these will not receive the surgery they need to survive. Our program works because we combine life saving surgeries with local training, so that Ukrainian surgeons in rural areas can build expertise to save the youngest and most complicated cases. We plan three more surgical missions to Ukraine thorough the end of 2008, and we hope -- with your support -- to continue the program in 2009. Visit our marker in Minsk, Belarus to learn more about the program.
