Brave Heart Fund Launches Video Raising Awareness on Heart Disease
The Brave Heart Fund BHF affiliated with the Children's Heart Center at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) has lately launched a video to help raise awareness on congenital heart disease.
In the video, a bus full of children blocks the heart of the city. Children descend, line-up and start singing. A banner with a slogan “we blocked the heart of the city to unblock the hearts of the children,” is raised.
In Lebanon alone, over 700 babies are born with heart disease.
The BHF is a charitable fund-raising initiative that was established in November 2003 at the Children's Heart Center at the AUBMC.
It helps cover the medical and/or surgical expenses for underprivileged children suffering from Congenital Heart Disease.
It also helps increase awareness about the illness.
BHF has been able to save 2300 lives so far. It covers 350 surgeries and interventional procedures a year.
