Cooperation Programme between GKSD and Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo
Since 1992, Gruppo San Donato (GSD) has been involved with Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo, a non-profit association led by Prof. Alessandro Frigiola, Head of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery at the internationally renowned San Donato Research Hospital in Milan and part of Gruppo San Donato (GSD).
To date, this collaboration has been responsible for having carried out hundreds of missions treating patients both at GSD Hospitals in Italy as well as local clinics in countries of origin. Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo has also trained local cardiologists and clinicians, inviting them the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato Research Hospital in order to share and transfer advanced skills and medical expertise that can be applied in the treatment of affected children in their home countries.
International Humanitarian Projects
Recent data released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) states that cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death worldwide. These data apply to both the adult and the paediatric population affected by congenital heart disease.
Medical aid in Africa and Eastern European Nations
In an attempt to alleviate healthcare shortcomings Gruppo San Donato (GSD) has set up an international cooperation programme aimed at treating congenital heart disease across a number of nations including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal and Romania. Being present in these countries with a cooperation programme also allows for the training of doctors in situ, creating the conditions where patients can be treated in their country of origin, thus avoiding the necessity for patients to be sent abroad for treatment.
CARDIOPATHIC CHILDREN IN THE WORLD
Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo
Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo is an Italian non-profit association that aims to reduce mortality in children affected by congenital heart diseases through the provision of high quality treatment and heart surgery all over the world especially in developing countries.
The association was founded in 1992 and was the magnum opus of a group of committed Italian doctors and volunteers led by GSD Prof. Alessandro Frigiola and Prof. Silvia Cirri.
AISPO – Associazione Italiana per la Solidarietà tra i Popoli
Associazione Italiana per la Solidarietà tra i Popoli is a non-governmental organisation specialised in the implementation of international cooperation projects in the health sector. It operates in many areas such as the autonomous region of Kurdistan (Iraq), Sudan, South Sudan, Egypt, Vietnam, Sierra Leone, Lebanon, Mozambique, Madagascar and Colombia.
The association was founded in 1984 and makes use of the expertise and know-how of the San Raffaele Research Hospital and the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University.
PAEDIATRIC CENTRES IN AFRICA AND EASTERN EUROPE NATIONS
In an attempt to alleviate this shortcoming Gruppo San Donato (GSD) and Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo have set up an international cooperation programme aimed at treating congenital heart disease across a number of nations including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal and Romania. Being present in these countries with a cooperation programme also allows for the training of doctors in situ, which creates the conditions where patients can be treated in their country of origin thus diverting the flow of patients sent abroad for treatment.
INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
Children's Heart Catherization Room at La Rabta Hospital
Recent data released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) states that cardiovascular disease is the first cause of death worldwide. These data apply to both the adult and the paediatric population affected by congenital heart disease.
While adult cardiovascular centres are present in almost all countries around the world, paediatric centres are still poorly represented, particularly in continents such as Africa and Asia and Eastern European nations.
