disease throughout the poorest part5 of the world through the provisions of heart pr(Kedures, surgery, aftercare,
fmancial assistance, practical and training of staff in the county concerned. The charity's aim is to address the
gross inequality of health care in the poorer parts of the H'orld with particular regard to babies and ¢hilthen with
congenitat heart disorders.
Jn addition a chapter of Healing Little Hearts called Healing Little Children now perfOrn￿ voluntary swgery on
children with General Surgical conditions .This initiative is currently focused in fvigeria.
Since 2009 ￿en the charty identified the significant health issue in respect of CHD, si&nificant progress ha5

Long-term objectives are:

* To send teaD]s of healthcare professionals to the developing world to provide free heart intervention procedures
and SLwgery for children.
* To promote the physical wellbeing of children with CHD and to provide them with the best possible chance of

* To provide teaching and mentoring links from the University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust. together with

Achievements and performance
The year ended 3 1st MaT¢h 2024 w&s successful in t¢rnis of fijndraising and has provided a platforni for the
charity to increase its Presence in countries where need is greatest and to continue to raise public awareness both
in this county and abroad. It is considered vitslly important that the work and success achieved so far are not
held back considering the ￿t￿re.
Congenitsl Heart Disease (CHD) is still one of the world's most common birth defects affecting l in 100
children. Throughout the developing Worl￿ I million children are born with CHD each year and the higher birth
rates in the poorest countries rnean that a disproportionate number of children is in the poorest parts of the world
where facilities and personnel to treat CHD in these children are virtually non-existent.
To compound this problem, the greatest problem facing children born with CHD is that 800/0 to 90 % of them are
born to the poorest families. furthern]ore, the huge inequality in health care provision for children with CHD is
demonstrated b>. the fact that 900/0 of the facilities and personnel who can treat CIID effectively live in the
developed world. This means that there are hundreds of thousands of children born each year with CHD to the
poorest families with no abilitv to treat tbem. Many of th¢se children languish with conditions. dying
prmturely whilst their families are helplessly unable to obtain andlor organise the urgently needed life-saving
treatments needed for them,
This huge inequaliry in public health is reinforced by the statistic that 800/0 of children with CHD are born with 5
common defe¢ts can be treated defjnitively by a simple heart operation. For example, in India approximately
78,000 chilitreD in India die from CHD each year, many living in remote rural areas without access to medi¢al
and diagnostic expertise is seriously limited and many of them are untreated and fail to surnive. The majority of
i•
children with CHD are referred late to specialist centres and frequently theii families are unable to afford the
interventions that rnay be required.
We belieile that in these days of comparatively inexpensive travel and the use of technology, a strong and
concerted effort must be made to address with global health problem.
At the end of March 2024, Healing Little Hearts bad treated more than 3200 children in total with 226 Camps
over the world where need was greatest.
The TnLStees consider that achievements throughout the year have continued to meet the objectives of the Charity.
The Th￿feeS are discussing> following the fimd-raising Success of this financial year, to invest in fither training
of overseas staff and in en¢ourdging centres of excelleD¢e in countries where there are staff prepared to take on
the Healing Little Hearts mantle and progress its work. In spite of the devaststing effect of the global pandemic,
children will continue to be born with CHD and will continue to need our help and &ssi5tance.

Since the charity's gross income exc¢eded £250.000 your examiner must be a m¢mI￿r of a body listed in section
