Children with heart disease

Our work

10% to 12% of the children who attend the brigades have a heart condition.

Those who require cardiovascular surgery or cardiac catheterism are brought to FCI to receive free treatment.
In each brigade, approximately 300 poor children from that region are diagnosed free of charge.
