On behalf of everyone on the Kardias’s board and our operational and medical staff, I would
like to thank you for your kind and generous donation.
Kardias was founded 18 years ago with a core mission to provide life-saving open-heart
surgeries for children in Mexico. Our mission is critical given that one of every one hundred
children in Mexico are born with a heart defect, some of which are treatable with the proper
medical care. Kardias provides these children in need with the world-class surgeons and
facilities they deserve at no cost. Kardias gives our patients an opportunity for a new, active and
healthy life.
Today we can fulfill our mission better than ever thanks to your support. We are proud to share
that in February we inaugurated the Kardias Pediatric Heart Center at the American-British
Cowdray Hospital (ABC), which is the most advanced hospital in Mexico. We have also
partnered with the Texas Children Hospital, which provides us with technical and educational
support. This new center and our partnership allow us to increase the complexity and number
of open-heart surgeries we perform.
During the last 3 months Kardias has treated with open heart surgeries in this new center 40 children from underpriviledged economic situations with extraordinary results.
Thank you for sharing our vision and our passion for providing these children a new opportunity
at life.
