International Programs

In the United States we are accustomed to abundance of medical expertise and facilities, but around the globe underdeveloped countries are struggling to provide even basic medical care, leaving those who are critically ill with nowhere to turn.

Through the Rotary International Gift of Life program, physicians and nurses at The Children's Hospital of New Jersey are helping children with life-threatening cardiac conditions from countries such as Trinidad, Nicaragua, the former Soviet Union, Sri Lanka, Syria and Mexico. Since The Children's Heart Center was founded, over a dozen infants and children from around the globe have come to the Center for surgical or transcatheter treatment.
