Cooperation Programme between GKSD and Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo
Since 1992, Gruppo San Donato (GSD) has been involved with Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo, a non-profit association led by Prof. Alessandro Frigiola, Head of Paediatric Cardiac Surgery at the internationally renowned San Donato Research Hospital in Milan and part of Gruppo San Donato (GSD).
During this period, work undertaken with our partner supported missions, patients and professionals trained in the countries identified. Bambini Cardiopatici nel Mondo has also trained local cardiologists and clinicians, inviting them the IRCCS Policlinico San Donato Research Hospital in order to share and transfer advanced skills and medical expertise that can be applied in the treatment of affected children in their home countries.

In an attempt to alleviate healthcare shortcomings Gruppo San Donato (GSD) has set up an international cooperation programme aimed at treating congenital heart disease across a number of nations including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Cameroon, Nigeria, Senegal and Romania. Being present in these countries with a cooperation programme also allows for the training of doctors in situ, creating the conditions where patients can be treated in their country of origin, thus avoiding the necessity for patients to be sent abroad for treatment.
