133 CHILDREN SCREENED 47 CHILDREN PREVIOUSLY TREATED

PROVIDED FOLLOW-UP CARE

Providing Hope to the Children of Kosova

The third Gift of Life Screening Mission to Kosova was conducted in July 2016 at the University Clinical Center of Kosova in Pristina. A total of 133 children were screened including 47 children who have been previously treated and were now provided follow-up care. All children examined who had previously received their surgeries in various countries around the world were healthy and reaching milestones their parents never thought possible.

Children who were screened and diagnosed were placed on a cardiac waiting list and were prioritized for treatment outside of their country since pediatric cardiac care is not currently available in Kosova.

Our sincere thanks to our screening team from New York and New Jersey, led by Dr. Joseph Gaffney and to Dr. Elena Ribera from Italy for joining the team to evaluate children who will be treated in Genoa.

Our sincere thanks to Professor Mazllum Belegu, Chairman of Gift of Life Kosova and Ms. Albana Krasniqi, Gift of Life International Director, for their dedication to the children of Kosova requiring treatment to heal their little hearts.
