“A comprehensive solution requires billions of dollars, the intervention of governments, and large private companies. Nevertheless, the enormity of our challenge should not prevent each of us from doing our part – now.”

Sanjay Daluvoy MD, President & Co-Founder, WCI

“Even if we did cases all day for the entire week, we’d only be able to put a small dent into the 10,000 Ugandan children who are born with a heart defect every year.  Our mission is to help more kids play harder and live longer not just this week, also for decades to come.”

Dr. Jattu Senesie, 2015 Trip

“As we soon work on our 100th catheterization patient, being able to independently do diagnostic and interventional procedures is our major stride to the pride of Uganda Heart Institute and World Children’s Initiative(our sponsors)”

Dr. Sulaiman Lubega, UHI pediatric interventional cardiologist in 2014

“…no more medications, no more lung infections, and she can keep up when playing with all her friends…”
