Do you know how important it is to have your child’s heart checked?
Despite enormous progress in medicine, thousands of children each year leave the hospital without a proper diagnosis of congenital heart defects (CHDs).
This is not because doctors lack skill or dedication, but because simple, effective, and affordable screening tools are still missing – tools that could be available anywhere a small heart begins to beat.
If you happen to be at a center where proper diagnosis and support are available, that’s a privilege. Help us make sure every child has the same chance.
Only fast, reliable, and widely available screening methods can truly increase the number of CHDs detected early — and change the future for thousands of families.
Intelicardio is a program created by the Heart for Children Foundation to develop exactly such tools — so that in the future every child, wherever they are born, can be quickly and effectively screened for CHDs.
And this change starts with you – parents and your children.
Your participation can speed up the progress: let’s do something that matters for your family today, and at the same time give other families the chance for a normal life that only early diagnosis can provide.
Your involvement matters — together we create a better tomorrow for little hearts.
