50% of children born with heart defects will need heart surgery at sometime in their life. Of those 50%, 35% need surgery in the first month in order to survive.
Pediatric open-heart surgery is highly dependent upon the technology, materials and services provided by these organizations. Without their continual support, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, ICHF simply could not operate. These organizations are literally saving lives of children throughout the world. As a show of our appreciation you can link to their commercial sites by clicking on their logo. Please support them with your business!
