ECHOCARDIOGRAM MACHINE LAUNCH - BULAWAYO ZIMBABWE

ECHO MACHINE PURCHASE

THIS OCTOBER WE LAUNCHED OUR NEW ECHOCARDIOGRAM MACHINE IN ZIMBABWE. A significant step forward in our mission to provide essential healthcare services to children with Down syndrome and other underserved communities.


This important achievement is part of our ongoing efforts to improve healthcare and ensure that every child, regardless of their condition, receives the care they deserve.



With the introduction of this life-saving technology, we can now offer vital heart screenings that are crucial for early detection of cardiovascular conditions, which are common among children with Down syndrome.


Early diagnosis allows us to provide timely care, improving the chances for better health outcomes and a higher quality of life.

By providing access to advanced heart diagnostic services, we aim to ensure that children in Zimbabwe, regardless of their location or financial status, receive the specialized care they need.


We are truly grateful to all of our supporters who have made this possible. This success is only the beginning, and we invite you to continue supporting our work as we strive to create a lasting, positive impact for children with Down syndrome.

SCREENINGS BY DR. THATHA

We are thrilled to announce a transformative step forward in our mission to support children with Down Syndrome.

With the recent acquisition of an echocardiogram machine, we’re enhancing cardiac care accessibility and quality for children in Zimbabwe. This vital technology enables more precise heart health monitoring and timely interventions, which are crucial for children with Down Syndrome, who are often at higher risk of congenital heart conditions.

This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of our donors and community. Together, we’re building a future where every heartbeat is valued, monitored, and cared for.
