In total, nine children received free care on Monday, April 22, 2024, thanks to the medical support provided by the CCP in collaboration with the University Clinics of Kinshasa and the Kalembe-Lembe Pediatric Hospital.
"These cardiac malformations in children are of congenital origin," stated pediatric cardiologist Dr. Paul Lumbala.
In the upcoming month of May, there will be a campaign for open-heart surgery benefiting children.
It benefits from the support of the Congolese government as well as other partners working in the health sector, notably: the Pediatric Surgery Association in Africa (CHIRPA).
