Target achieved!
We are delighted to have reached our target of raising enough funds to enable the project, supported by the Trentino/South Tyrol region, to go ahead. Thanks to your generous donations, we are able to cover the required contribution.
This project will enable us to purchase materials for 70 heart operations. This is fantastic news, and the team at the Heart of Cameroon Foundation, led by Dr Charles Mve Mvondo, will therefore continue to be very active. The first patients will benefit from this support as early as May 2026.
A THOUSAND THANKS!
5 heart valves
Since 2022, we have also been supporting patients of the Heart of Cameroon Foundation (HCF), which, together with the General Hospital of Yaoundè, provides heart surgery free of charge or at low cost. Patients only pay for the hospital bed, which is affordable. The materials for the operation are provided through donations, and the doctors at the Heart of Cameroon Foundation do not charge for their services!
We have submitted an application to the Trentino/South Tyrol region to purchase a year's supply of materials. However, we have to make a considerable contribution ourselves, so we are asking for your help in purchasing 5 heart valves.
Unfortunately, we are not allowed to publish individual patient stories for this project. However, we will of course keep you informed about the progress of the project.
Many thanks for your contribution!
