You can't tinker with the heart children
In many countries, equipment and technical facilities are scarce or non-existent, and parents lack the financial resources to fund heart surgery for their children.
It is to make operations possible for these young patients that Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque fights every day. To repair their hearts, we organize for them to come to France or Switzerland, and we finance the surgeries in partner hospitals that offer the optimum conditions we would wish for our own children.
Our hospital centers partners
We partner 11 hospitals in France and 2 in Switzerland.
In France, child surgery can be very expensive, but it is covered by Social Security. For the foreign children we operate on, we benefit from packages negotiated with the hospitals for an average cost of €12,000.
