Opening Hearts

A team of Israeli doctors repairs more foreign young hearts for free than any other country in the world

Parents in Moldova, Ethiopia, Gaza and Hebron send their children — weak, lethargic, their skin sometimes tinged blue from lack of oxygen — to a hospital in Holon, Israel.

The open-heart surgery and rehabilitation have been offered completely free of charge by an altruistic team of volunteers at Israel’s Wolfson Hospital’s pediatric cardiology department.
