Almost 4 000 newborns are diagnosed with heart disease in Ukraine every year. Most of these children need urgent treatment. This is not a gloomy forecast, this is a common statistic. Can many be helped? Here the opinions of cardiologist surgeons differ. Some say: almost everyone. Others: most. And here it does not matter what view we take. Each of them is a strong incentive to help.
The Ufond.Heart program, launched in 2010, may be addressing a small but very important part of this problem. Our readers pay for transactions that are not subject to state quotas. These are usually operations with the use of imported consumables such as occluders, stents, pacemakers.
In this program, the Ukrainian Foundation Dhas reliable partners: National Institute of Cardiovascular Surgery. NM Amosova (Kyiv), Kyiv Institute of Heart, GU Institute of General and Emergency Surgery. V.T. Zaitseva (Kharkiv), Odesa Regional Children’s Clinical Hospital, First Territorial Medical Association of Lviv.
