Provides access to diagnosis and medical care to children in need with critical hearts defects. American Friends of FCI is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving new life to underserved children with congenital heart defects. Through its support of the Fundacion Cardioinfantil Hospital (FCI) in Bogota-Colombia, American Friends funds annual health brigades led by a comprehensive team of FCI surgeons and medical professionals. In these missions, our team diagnoses children with cardiovascular conditions and ultimately brings them to Bogota to receive highly complex, life-saving surgery. Our continuous dedication to improving FCI's infrastructure, technology, research, and education allow us as an organization to provide the best integrative care and save the lives of as many children as possible living with heart ailments in underserved areas of Latin America.
