Aim:
- To provide high quality, free of charge treatment for children and adults suffering from heart disease;
- To train a generation of Rwandan cardiac professionals to the highest international standard;
- To expand critical research into neglected cardiac diseases affecting local peoples and to guide urgently needed prevention programmes.
Prof. Karen Sliwa is a board member of the foundation and can be contacted by email for more information.
