What does Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque do?
It provides operations for children with heart defects from disadvantaged countries.
The charity enables children with heart defects from disadvantaged countries to have operations in France, when this is not possible in their own countries due to lack of technical or financial resources. Hosted by voluntary host families in nine cities in France, over 4,000 children have been cared for since the charity was founded by Professor Francine Leca in 1996.
