Healing Little Hearts in Uganda
Legacy Program
The Gift of Life International initiative to develop sustainable pediatric cardiac programs in emerging countries began at the Uganda Heart Institute (UHI) in 2009. Since then, we have upgraded essential equipment, facilitated training by world-class healthcare professionals, installed a telemedicine system and provided supplemental supplies and medicines to support reliable and sustainable surgeries at UHI. We have also worked to engage the UHI Hospital Administration and the Ugandan Ministry of Heart who now annually support this program.
