After previously helping out children from Iraq and Kenya, it looks as if Israeli doctors from the Save A Child’s Heart foundation will be heading off towards the far east in order help out kids in China.
(Haaretz) The Save A Child’s Heart medical team, comprising 15 members, said it would try to treat as many children as possible during its stay in China.
This is SACH’s eighth mission to China, where Israeli medics working alongside Chinese colleagues have performed surgery on more than 100 children. During the mission, team surgeon Dr. Lior Sasson – who heads the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at the Wolfson Medical Center – will workd at the Hebei Children’s hospital alongside Dr. Han Jiangang, a surgeon trained in Israel last year. [...]
Already in China, word has spread about the event, prompting hundreds to travel by foot, bicycle and train hoping to benefit from the surgical mission, according to SACH.
According to Haaretz, a camera crew will be tagging along in order to document everything that goes on.
Note: Here is a video from one of their earlier missions to China (with subtitles for those of us who have yet to speak Chinese).
