The Save a Child’s Heart program is located within the Edith Wolfson Medical
Center (WMC) in Holon, Israel. The Center is a 600-bed urban government
hospital, located in the south Tel-Aviv area, providing medical care to the
440,000 residents of the surrounding population.
The staff of SACH is composed of over 70 professionals, mainly of Wolfson
Medical Center employees who volunteer their time and expertise to treat the
sick children.
The facilities include two dedicated cardiac operating rooms, a seven-bed
intensive care unit, a four-bed pediatric intermediate unit and a 20-bed
pediatric surgery ward. The SACH patients share these facilities with the local
patient population.
The SACH program trains doctors and nurses from partner countries, at the
Wolfson Medical Center, in all facets of pediatric cardiology. SACH has an
agreement with the Wolfson Medical Center that allows the program to use all of
the hospital facilities, as long as it remains financially self-sufficient.
The children that SACH brings to Wolfson Medical Center for heart surgery
receive other medical attention in addition to curing their heart conditions.
Children are given complete medical examinations when they arrive, and any
other physical problems that they have are also corrected by other departments
in the hospital with no additional charge.
SACH is proud to be associated with the Wolfson Medical Center and grateful for
the spirit of mutual cooperation and compassion that the hospital has extended
in such a magnanimous fashion.
