A Call to Action!

A Call to Action on addressing the Global Burden of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Diseases.

On behalf of the organizing committee of the 8th World Congress of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery we invite you to sign-on to the World Congress Call to Action on addressing the Global Burden of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Diseases, highlighting the global inequities in pediatric and congenital heart care.

This Call to Action, developed collaboratively by patients, families, clinical and policy experts calls upon governments, multilateral organizations, funders, professional societies, research and teaching institutions, civil society, and the private sector for several key actions to improve recognition, access and investment in health services to address childhood-onset heart disease.
