The ultimate goal of Save a Child’s Heart (SACH) is to create centers of competence in developing countries where children can be treated independently in their own communities. SACH trains medical personnel from partner sites in Israel at the Wolfson Medical Center for in-depth post-graduate training in all facets of pediatric cardiac care including cardiology, surgery, anesthesia, intensive care, perfusion and nursing.
Training programs vary from three months to three years and are all held under the auspices of the Sackler School of Medicine of the Tel Aviv University and the Center for International Cooperation of the Foreign Ministry of Israel - MASHAV.
Since its inception in 1995, SACH has trained 50 physicians and nurses at the Wolfson Medical Center from China, Ethiopia, Moldova, Nigeria, the Palestinian Authority, Eritrea, Kenya, Russia, Vietnam and Zanzibar.
