In china, there are over 4,000,000 people with congenital heart disease,and nearly 2,000,000 are children are waiting for necessary operations for the disease. Among newborns, the rate of the incidence of congenital heart disease is between 7% and 8%. Every year, about 140,000 babies are born with congenital heart disease, half of whom die at the age of one or two. Though 99% of children who receive the appropriate operations recover fully, only 60,000 of the patients can get timely treatment due to the high cost of medical treatment.
Angel and Sunshine Fund is a component of the medical relief "Angel Program" of Chinese Red Cross Foundation (CRCF) that was founded in May 2006. The purpose of the program is to provide medical treatment for poor children suffering from congenital heart disease in the rural areas.
Every child is a lovely angel. Help us give every child have a happy childhood and beautiful future!
