Congenital heart disease is needed an integrated approach for early diagnosis and cure. Affordability and accessibility are huge challenges that families face while trying to find care for their children amid Covid.

In June and July 2021, despite the complicated Covid-19 situation, 116 children with congenital heart defects received their life-saving surgeries across the country through Heartbeat Vietnam program, ensuring their health and safety admist the pandemic. This achievement brings the number of heart surgeries that Heartbeat Vietnam has supported from the beginning of the year through July 2021 to 355 cases, saving 8,682 heart children after 15 years of establishment.

All operations were successful, and the children are recovering well with their strong and resilient hearts.
