To develop sustainable clinical and research cardiac centres for the treatment of children and young people with heart diseases, in countries where the facilities for such treatments are unavailable.

Chain of Hope exists to provide children suffering from life-threatening heart disease with the corrective surgery and treatment to which they do not have access. We send out medical teams to treat children in their own country and we set up training programmes for local surgeons and medical staff. Chain of Hope provides teaching and training programmes while developing local infrastructure in countries such as Mozambique, Egypt, Jamaica and Ethiopia. With the guidance of the charity’s Medical Board, Chain of Hope has been saving lives for almost 15 years.
