Cimas boost for paediatric cardiac surgeries

ZIMBABWE’S leading private healthcare institution, Cimas Health Group, has partnered Egyptian cardiac specialists and local medical professionals for a heart surgery exercise targeting children.

About 4 500 children are born with a congenital heart disease each year in Zimbabwe, a life-threatening condition that requires surgical intervention.

In a statement yesterday, Cimas said the week-long surgical Open Heart held at Parirenyatwa Hospital benefited 10 children who went under life-saving cardiac procedures.
