From time to time we shall feature a work in Israel that doesn’t receive world-wide publicity, but ought to!

Save a Child’s Heart

This is a work I have personally seen at the Wolfson Medical Centre in Israel. The free medical care given to children from around the world is amazing. Without the aid given by Israel many, if not all, of these children would not only have a much poorer quality of life but would have a shorter life expectancy.

This work is breaking down barriers as folk see Israel helps even those who hate her and want to destroy her. What is even more remarkable is that many of the medical staff give their time and skills free of charge!

“Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is a hospital-based project offering all of its varied services in cooperation with the Wolfson Medical Centre (WMC) in Holon, Israel. The Wolfson Medical Centre is a governmental non-profit hospital, whose management and medical personnel are fully committed to the success of the SACH program.

The staff

A fully fledged paediatric cardiac medical team, including cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, anaesthesiologists, heart-lung machine technicians and nursing staff, are on call for the program 24 hours a day. All the members of this outfit, numbering approximately 70 persons, volunteer a substantial part of their time to the SACH program, as they do not receive any remuneration for services they render to SACH through the WMC.”
