Story
Pace4Life is responding to this situation by undertaking a project that will see thousands of unused pacemakers, ICDs & CRT devices including the accessories sent to the charity hospital in India and providing complete implant support by highly qualified healthcare professional team from Milton Keynes University Hospital and North Middlesex University Hospital, United Kingdom.
This will enable us to deliver costly healthcare to a population where 90% cannot afford life-saving treatment such as Pacemakers/ICD/CRT device implantations. Instead of binning the unused pacemaker, ICD, CRT devices in the United Kingdom, utilising the source to save the lives in India.
During this charity hospital visit, we will provide the high quality treatment for as many patients as we can, aiming to complete at least 50 CIED device implants and electrophysiology study + RFA ablation for those in need. Dr Mark Davies, Consultant Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist will perform the implants and also shares his experience about the complex cases in a series of lectures to enhance the knowledge with existing team in the charity hospital, accompanied by myself (Cardiac Physiologist) and the Milton Keynes team..
We are the team of 4 healthcare professional in total travelling to a charity hospital in India to provide cardiac medical device implants and ablations between March 23rd, 2024, to April 6th, 2024 at a complete free of cost to the patients.
The entire plan costs approximately £2000 per person including flight and accommodation to the organising trust (Pace4life - Arrhythmia Alliance). We are seeking your generous financial support towards covering a part of this medical device implant camp in India.
Any help would be gratefully received.
