Several children from Moldova, who suffer from heart disease, underwent free surgery in Romania

Eleven children from our country benefited from free operations, performed in Brasov by specialists from abroad, within the project "Save the little hearts". The campaign was launched in Romania six years ago, and recently reached the Republic of Moldova. The surgeries were possible thanks to the foundation of Ceslav Ciuhrii, who is the president of the Tennis Federation in our country, reports Moldova 1.

A total of 11 children from our country suffering from heart disease were operated on for free at the "Saint Constantine" Hospital in Brasov. One of the doctors who performed the interventions is the Bessarabian Tatiana Melnic, who works across the Prut.

"The children who underwent surgery suffered from complex malformations. In the last mission, I also had two children from Moldova, a one-year-old boy who was operated on by the phallox tetralogy and a three-year-old girl who was operated on for the first time at the age of 7 days in Kiev and now she needed a duct replacement, a prosthesis that was stenotic, and a new, larger duct was implanted along with the lung valve. When this child will grow up, she may need another intervention," said Tatiana Melnic.

Depending on the child's condition, surgery sometimes takes up to six hours.

"All the children who were operated on in our missions are fine, these children are being monitored post-operatively by pediatric cardiologists who have been supervising them since birth. There were cases when the malformations could not be corrected from a first intervention and required a reintervention in time," says the cardiologist.

The surgeries were made possible by the "Ceslav Ciuhrii" Charity Foundation, which joined the "Save the Little Hearts" project.

"These children are identified due to the investigations they carried out and I can tell you that they cannot be treated in our country, that is why it was necessary to transport them to Romania. It will certainly be a long-term project because there are many children who need such interventions, and so far, there have been around 300 children selected," said Ceslav Ciuhrii.

The operations were carried out with the help of specialists from Great Britain, Germany, Cyprus and Sweden. Their cost is between eight and nine thousand euros. "Save the little hearts" is a project launched in 2015 in Romania.
