Our Mission
The Nordic Cardiac Foundation was founded to bring full-scale cardiac care—including advanced interventional cardiology and open-heart surgery—to underserved regions around the world.
Our team consists of highly experienced physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, specialist nurses, anesthesiologists, perfusionists, and physiotherapists from leading Nordic university hospitals. We bring not only medical expertise but also a deep commitment to education and sustainable development. With a strong track record in establishing, teaching, and supporting cardiac programs in developing countries, we aim to expand our reach even further.
