The Heart-to-Heart Campaign, launched in November by the Saudi German Hospital in collaboration with Dar Al Ber Charity and the Zayed Giving Initiative, has so far provided free life-saving surgeries for 1500 Egyptian children and elderly people with genetic heart defects, arterial occlusion and cardiac valvular dysfunction.
Volunteer doctors from the UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and France screened hundreds of cardiac patients in Egyptian villages during the week-long initiative.
Executive Director of the Zayed Giving Initiative, Adel Al Shameri, said that the campaign is aimed at alleviating the suffering of heart patients under the supervision of elite doctors and surgeons.
The initiative, he added, is part of a humanitarian campaign aimed at reaching out to a large number of children and elderly heart patients around the world.
