Team Heart is a Boston-based non-profit organization that provides cardiac screening and surgeries in Kigali, Rwanda. We are also initiating a training program for cardiology residents to increase the number of Rwandan cardiologists trained to practice in their home country. Our organization includes volunteers from medicine, nursing, perfusion, respiratory therapy and a wide range of non-clinical positions. Since 2007 we have partnered with the Rwanda Heart Foundation, the Ministry of Health and the citizens of Rwanda to assist Rwanda in building a program in cardiac surgery.
