Our Impact Open Heart International facilitates medical best practice in vulnerable communities to transform lives. Open Heart International provides the opportunity for those living in developing countries to receive the specialised healthcare that they deserve, yet cannot access. Save One, Save Many We have a long-term commitment to creating local self-sufficiency, not band-aid solutions. It starts with volunteer teams of surgeons, doctors, nurses, clinicians and educators. It includes equipping local medical teams with thousands of dollars of equipment so they have the tools. And it ends with ongoing follow-up to ensure our efforts take root. Because while saving a life today is amazing, the greatest thrill we get is hearing that operations are being performed long after we’ve left.
