Zero percent mortality rate achieved in Guyana

Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation achieves zero percent mortality rate

The Babyheart team is thrilled to report that Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation has seen zero deaths among pediatric heart surgery patients from the past year! Our wonderful volunteers as well as the dedicated staff at GPHC, the LIBIN Cardiovascular Institute and the Ministry of Health in Guyana all contributed greatly to establishing this successful pediatric heart program.

42 lives saved in Guyana

With one big donation of a heart-lung bypass machine from the Nova Scotia Health Authority, thanks to volunteer Steve Taylor, ICHF was well equipped to help set up this sustainable program. We are excited about the possibility of a second machine coming in the future!

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.
