Save a Child's Heart (SACH) is an Israeli-based international,
non-profit organization.We are known worldwide for our commitment to saving lives by improving the quality of cardiac care for children from developing countries and
creating centers of medical competence in these countries.
Save a Child’s Heart provides life-saving cardiac surgery and other
lifesaving procedures at the Wolfson Medical Center in Holon, Israel. Our doctors and
nurses also hold preoperative and follow up cardiology clinics in Israel and
abroad on a weekly basis. Save a Child’s Heart offers a comprehensive training program within Israel for doctors and
nurses from developing countries, and leads surgical and teaching missions to our partner
countries. To date, we have saved the lives of 4,000 children from Africa,
South America, Europe, Asia, and throughout the Middle East.
By mending hearts, regardless of race, religion, gender,
nationality, or financial status, we contribute to a more peaceful and
productive world; a happier, healthier world, and a better world for all children, and their families.
Since 1995, SACH has treated more than 4,000
children suffering from congenital and rheumatic heart disease, from infancy to
18 years of age. The annual number of children we treat has grown dramatically
from 48 cases in 1996 to over 260 in 2015.
The children we help are treated at the Wolfson Medical Center and
housed at the Legacy Heritage Children’s Home of Save a Child’s Heart, both
located in Holon. They come from around the globe, from 50 countries where
adequate medical care is simply unavailable.
Approximately 50% of the children are from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan,
Iraq and Morocco, more than 30% are from Africa, and the remainder are from Asia, Eastern Europe
and the Americas.
Incredibly, in today’s modern age, at any given moment there are
thousands of children suffering from heart disease around the world who require
our assistance.
If you know a child who needs our help, please use this Guidance and Referral Form form to send us
their information.
