Last week, we successfully completed pediatric cardiac catheterizations under the leadership of Dr Gerard Misago. Dr Gerard, who recently returned to Rwanda following his fellowship in Israel, led an expert team to the completion of 14 life Ii-saving pediatric cathlab procedures for congenital heart diseases.

Dr. Gerard and his team were supported by Dr Abdul Jabbar, a senior Interventional Pediatric Cardiologist from Dhaka Shishu (Children’s) Hospital in Bangladesh, and by Dr. Richard Hubbard of the University of Maryland and the Children’s Cardiac Care Foundation.

Children as young as two days old were given a new lease of life thanks to this teamwork.

Gratitude to Children’s Cardiac Care Foundation, Drs Richard and Jabbar as well as the program coordinator, Shamimur.

❤️ A Tiny Heart. A Big Victory.

Yesterday, an 11-day-old baby boy was given a second chance at life after undergoing a life-saving heart procedure.

Born with a critical narrowing of one of the heart valves, the baby's heart was struggling to pump enough blood to the lungs. Without urgent treatment, this condition could have led to severe heart failure, dangerously low oxygen levels, and even death.

In a remarkable display of teamwork, our Cardiac Team, together with visiting pediatric interventional cardiologist Dr. Sagi Assa and our local specialists, successfully performed a balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty. This minimally invasive procedure opened the narrowed heart valve without the need for open-heart surgery.

Demonstrating an extraordinary commitment to patient care and international collaboration, Dr. Assa travelled from Israel specifically to support the procedure, worked side by side with our local cardiac specialists, and returned home the very same day after the successful intervention. His visit reflects a longstanding partnership focused not only on saving lives but also on strengthening Rwanda's capacity for advanced pediatric cardiac care through the training and mentorship of local specialists.

The procedure immediately restored healthy blood flow to the lungs, allowing this little fighter to grow with a stronger, healthier heart. The baby is currently stable in the Intensive Care Unit and is expected to continue recovering well.

This success is about more than saving one life. It reflects our commitment to providing world-class specialized cardiac care in Rwanda while building local expertise. Dr. Assa has also been instrumental in training and mentoring our cardiac specialists, helping strengthen the country's capacity to care for children born with complex heart conditions.

At King Faisal Hospital Rwanda, every successful procedure represents hope for patients and families, and another step toward making advanced healthcare more accessible close to home.

❤️ Every heartbeat matters. Every child deserves the chance to thrive.

#Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites of the #Plasmodium genus, which are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the body, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells
