Tanzanian Foreign Minister visits Save a Child's Heart in Israel today
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Co-operation Dr. Augustine Philip Mahiga today visited Save a Child’s Heart at the Wolfson Medical Center in Jerusalem and nearby Children’s Home. During his visit he met with Dr. Anat Engel, director of Wolfson Medical Center, and the hospital's dedicated medical team that treats children from Israel and around the world.
Dr. Mahiga also met children from Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania, Ethiopia, Romania and Myanmar receiving treatment there and he spoke with their mothers and wished everyone a quick recovery.
The Minister met doctors and nurses who participate in the Save a Child’s Heart training program, one of which was Dr. David Silvera, a young physician from Tanzania who is training to become a pediatric cardiac surgeon. Dr. Silvera will return to Tanzania in three years and join the local team. Most of the local team, at JKCI hospital in Tanzania, was trained in Israel by Save a Child’s Heart and, today, treat children independently. They are led by Tanzania’s first pediatric cardiac surgeon, Dr. Godwin Godfrey, who completed a 5-year training program with Save a Child's Heart at Wolfson Medical Center in Israel.
The Minister also met other medical team members who are currently training in Israel. Among them were two nurses from Tanzania, a surgeon from Ethiopia and a pediatric cardiologist from Kenya.
Before the visit was finished, the executive director of Save a Child’s Heart, Simon Fisher, thanked the Minister and said: “Save a Child's Heart serves as a bridge between the Wolfson Medical Center in Israel and the Jakaya Kikwete Cardiac Institute in Tanzania. Together, with the team at JKCI under the leadership of Prof. Janabi, Save a Child's Heart is creating a Sub-Saharan Center of Medical Excellence at JKCI hospital for children suffering from cardiac disease in Tanzania and neighboring countries. With the support of the government of Tanzania and the government of Israel, we are turning a dream into reality”.
Since 1999, Save a Child’s Heart has treated more than 700 children from Tanzania & Zanzibar and trained a pediatric cardiac team that includes a surgeon (a second one is currently training in Israel), three pediatric cardiologists, two pediatric anesthesiologists, an intensivist, four perfusionists and dozens of nurses.
During the last four years and as part of this Israeli-Tanzanian cooperative effort, Save a Child’s Heart has held more than ten medical missions in Tanzania for the purposes of both training and working with the local team. During these missions abroad, dozens of Tanzanian children have undergone lifesaving heart surgery and catheterization.
