Spotlight: Pakistani army captain helps her sister

Sadi_Bibi_and_Sister_2Sadia Bibi is a 20 year old with a congenital heart defect who needed repair of her mitral valve. Sadia received her operation during our medical mission trip to Pakistan in December 2007. Saida’s sister, Captain Nisa Shafwqat, works in the adult side of the intensive care unit of the hospital. One day after Sadia’s surgery, her sister was not working and came to the pediatric unit as a visitor. The unit became very busy and Captain Shafwqat stayed overnight as a nurse looking after her sister.

Sadia went home four days after her surgery and is doing great. She and her sister are very happy with Sadia’s operative result.

Mission Statement

The mission of the International Children’s Heart Foundation (ICHF) is to bring the skills, technology and knowledge to cure and care for children with congenital heart disease in developing nations.  ICHF does this regardless of country of origin, race, religion or gender. Our goal is to make the need for ICHF obsolete. We work toward this goal through our medical mission trips, where we operate on children and educate local healthcare professionals.
