Heartbeat International has a long history of saving lives in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the world’s number one killer, but it disproportionately affects poor populations that do not have access to healthcare and prevention awareness. According to the World Health Organization, of the total 17 million annual CVD deaths, 82% of them take place in low- and middle-income countries. Focusing on those populations, Heartbeat International currently works in 15 countries with a network of local doctors and hospitals who donate their time and expertise to help save the lives of their countrymen.

 

We have three main programs:

Pacemaker Program - For more than 25 years, we have been saving the lives of patients (link to Our Patients page) that do not have the economic resources to afford the pacemaker and ICD operations needed to survive. Relying on our network of generous medical manufacturers, doctors, and hospitals, we have saved more than 11,000 lives!​

 

Doctor Training- We host an annual workshop for our volunteer doctors to help spread technical and practical knowledge of the latest advancements in the cardiovascular field.One Heart Global Cardiovascular Alliance - Our guiding vision, this alliance is our solution to the growing cardiovascular epidemic that is predicted to worsen in the coming years. We are determined to counteract it with the help and collaboration of other like-minded organizations
