NEW Campaign: Little Hearts Has Begun
Al-Muntada Trust has begun its children’s heart surgery campaign in the city of Madani, in Sudan from Saturday the 12th of May 2012. The aim of this campaign is to carry out cardiac surgery and interventional cardiac catheterization operations for children from underprivileged families.
Our medical Team was received by the Sudanese Health Minister and a number of Sudanese officials.
This important initiative has received the blessing of ordinary Sudanese people and recognition from the Sudanese media because of how it aims to tackle the suffering of so many children from poor families who have little financial means to benefit from the treatment in their local health centers.
The campaign is being carried out in partnership with a Saudi based Charitable Foundation known as “International Volunteers Programme for Paediatric and Cardiac Catheterization and Cardiac Surgery”..
Dr. Jameel Al-Ata, the team leader and a consultant cardiologist has mentioned the importance of such specialized medical campaigns, particularly in Africa and the scarcity of specialized centers and the high costs of such operations. The statistics indicate that the rate of heart disease in Africa is ten times more than that in Europe and America.
The team has carried out eight heart surgery operations in the city of Madani at the Civilian Health Center of Heart Diseases. The medical team that carried out the operations has praised the local doctors who helped with the necessary logistics for the operations.
The General Director of Al-Muntada in Sudan Mr. Sugair Khalid has also thanked the Saudi team of medical volunteers and the local official authorities in Sudan for the success of this operation.
