20 Children Treated in Jordan and Jamaica: April Missions Update

In April, 20 children suffering from heart disease were treated during Chain of Hope’s overseas missions in Jordan and Jamaica.

These missions were led by renowned cardiac specialists: Dr Mark Turrentine from Riley Hospital for Children, USA, Professor Sir Shakeel Qureshi, Chair of Chain of Hope’s Medical Board from Evelina London Children’s Hospital and Dr Sherard Little, Cardiac Surgeon at Bustamante Hopsital for Children, Jamaica.

Working closely with local and volunteer medical teams, they provided expert cardiac care to children who would otherwise have little or no access to such specialised treatment.

Meet some of the brave children whose lives were transformed during these missions.

Chain of Hope successfully completed another surgical support mission to the Jamaica Children’s Heart Centre at the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston. The mission was led by local cardiac surgeon Dr Sherard Little, with vital support from an international volunteer team. Together, they performed six complex open-heart surgeries on children suffering from congenital heart defects.
