the need

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and affects millions of children around the world one in every 100 is born with a heart defect and one-third of these children die within their first year because they lack appropriate medical care.

More than 90 percent of children in developing countries dont have access to adequate cardiac care. In the United States, all children with congenital defects receive care, regardless of socioeconomics. 15 million children die or are disabled annually in developing countries as the result of treatable or preventable heart disease.

building sustainable programs

In the past 40 years, Childrens HeartLink has provided more than $60 million in treatment, education and medical equipment to partner sites. Childrens HeartLink is committed to providing long-term improvements that benefit not just a single child but entire communities. We do this by building partnerships with health care providers in the developing world in order to offer more accessible and effective services.

providing training and education

We provide training and technical support from some of the worlds finest medical institutions such as Mayo Clinic, Lucile Salter Packard Childrens Hospital at Stanford University, Boston Childrens Hospital, The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto and Birmingham Childrens Hospital in the UK. In addition, we provide equipment, supplies and funding to help local hospitals care for children in need.
