An international medical team, funded by Gift of Life, Inc. and Russian Gift of Life USA, from five different countries is on the ground in Russia. This third mission is another step forward in bringing cardiac care to children in Russia who are suffering from treatable heart defects. Thirty-nine children are on a waiting list for evaluation by the medical team.
The first surgery on November 24th was successful and the child was extubated the same day. More surgeries are scheduled for this Thanksgiving week.
