Letter regarding a Tanzania Heart
Institute Friends: We found your web site searching for
the Flying Hospital. Tried to use the URL shown on your
page, but to no avail. We have been invited by the Heart
Institute to visit Tanzania as soon as we are able to raise
the necessary funds. We are a pediatric cardiothoracic
surgical team that operates on babies and children under 12
years of age who suffer from congenital heart defects. We
only do the high risk highly complicated cases. In the US, funds have virtually dried
up for nonprofits. Would you have any sources we might
contact who might be interested in this humantarian
project? In addition to operating, we also
teach the host surgical team the latest techniques in
surgery and teach the critical care nurses the latest in
post-op care. As a point of reference, in the US
the average cost of open heart surgery is $150,000. US
dollars. It runs from a low of $50,000 to a high of
$300,000. We average $7,500 per operation and in a 10 day
period we do a minimum of 12 operations. More if the
facilities are available as well as additional
instruments. On a positive note, if you are unable
to offer any advice at least you will know who we are and
what we do. Please take a look at us at: Bradley N. 'Brad' Stanton Chairman & Co-Founder Gift of Life International Flight for Life We take to make a living, We give to
