€5 donated = €10 given to Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque
Nearly one child in a hundred
worldwide is born with a serious
heart defect. These diseases are
often fatal and only surgery can cure them.
Heart surgery requires specialised
medical techniques, that are
extremely expensive and do
not exist in many countries.
Each operation costs €12,000.
The Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque charity enables children with heart disease to be operated on in France when it is not possible in their own country for technical or financial reasons.
