Core programmes

Four areas of work guide the foundation.

  • Management and treatment of heart disease
  • Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease prevention
  • Annual fundraising programmes
  • Research programme

Why it matters

A local solution for children who need heart care.

The foundation was born from the realization that specialist care was available, but many families could not carry treatment costs to the end.
