Heart \u2013 Uganda: POBIC\u2019s Mission in Uganda is Not New.   As early as 2016, the OPEN HEART project had taken its first steps through the POBIC FOR WOMEN initiative. A complex and fruitful initiative, launched in collaboration with the Rena Foundation, an organization active in the Rwenzori region of western Uganda.   An organization dedicated to protecting pregnant women who constantly risk their lives due to poor hygiene and sanitation conditions. \u00a0 \u00a0 We tell the story of that journey at this link:  Pobic For Women Project \u2013 Uganda.     However, 2024 marked a turning point for the OPEN HEART project itself\u2014the one aimed at saving children with severe heart conditions. \u00a0 \u00a0 This dedicated mission was led by doctors Carmelo Arcidiacono and Marta Gagliardi from the Gannina Gaslini Hospital in Genoa and accompanied by photographer Raffaele Petrella and journalist Marta Bellingreri. \u00a0 Keep reading to see the photos and learn about their experiences. Where Open Heart Operates: NIGERIA, UGANDA, KURDISTAN. Become a Volunteer: CLICK HERE. The POBIC HEART UGANDA Mission \u2013 2024: 3 Lives Saved in 2024. 2024 was also a year of continuous trips from Italy to Uganda and, in particular, three trips from Uganda to Italy. \u00a0 Three young lives gained access to the OPEN HEART UGANDA project\u2014the first of the 59 children who underwent screening as part of this incredible journey. Discover their stories here. \u00a0 Ariella is safe. Mary\u2019s heart has healed. Jernita has recovered.     The Pobic Uganda team met with dozens of families at the Heart Institute hospital in the capital, Kampala, and organized a gathering with those who had already made the trip to Italy for their children\u2019s surgeries. The professionalism of the local hospital team and the warm Ugandan hospitality helped make the mission a huge success! Over fifty appointments were held, and on every face was the hope of being able to participate in the OPEN HEART project. Every additional donation allows us to give hope to every single child who dreams and hopes. Stories of children who want to live. Martha Ariana Minebingwa, 13, loves to sing.    Becoming a singer is just one of the dreams she hopes to fulfill after heart surgery.\u00a0 \u00a0 Martha Ariana, along with her mother Doreen Akello, participated in the screening days at the Uganda Heart Institute in Kampala, where they met with doctors from the Gaslini Hospital in Genoa for a cardiology consultation. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cBeing 13 and having heart problems makes you feel a little different,\u2019 says Martha Ariana. \u201dBut today I\u2019m going home with hope.\u201c Fatia Nakazibwe holds her little Ariela in her arms. She got up at 6 a.m. to make her way to the Uganda Heart Institute in Kampala. But that\u2019s not the longest journey she\u2019s ever taken. Six months before this appointment, she gave birth to Ariela, and since then, every smile has come at a cost. The baby sleeps no more than three hours a night, sweats frequently, and isn\u2019t gaining weight. She has an atrioventricular canal defect that can lead to heart failure and a short life expectancy. Or rather, she did. On the morning she woke up at dawn, Fatia set out in search of hope.\u00a0 \u00a0 Ariela, along with her mother Fatia, will be able to undergo surgery at one of the leading pediatric cardiology hospitals in Genoa.  The tiny body of Evangelina Alma, just one month old, is inseparable from that of her mother Sophia. \u00a0 3 kg, 50 cm, and an oxygen saturation level of 81%: these are the concerning statistics that make Evangelina Alma a good candidate for the upcoming surgeries as part of the Pobic mission at the Uganda Heart Institute in the capital, Kampala.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201dI haven\u2019t been able to sleep at all since she was born,\u201c says her mother, \u201dher temperature often spikes, so I have to keep checking on her.\u201c \u00a0 But when she breastfeeds her\u2014even for just a few minutes\u2014little Sophia is fine. Her eyes light up after meeting Dr. Gagliardi, a member of the Pobic mission, who performed the echocardiogram on the baby. \u00a0 Ugandan children alive thanks to the OPEN HEART UGANDA project Teopisca and Simon (see his story below) vividly remember the warm welcome they received in Italy when they landed for little Simon\u2019s heart surgery. \u201dThe idea of traveling with my son, who was only 10 months old, to a distant country with no relatives worried me,\u201c says Teopisca.   \u201dThe Pobic team picked us up at the airport, and right away I felt that everything would turn out for the best.\u201c And so it was.    After the surgery at the Gaslini Children\u2019s Hospital in Genoa, Teopisca saw her son again: \u201dThat joy in his eyes meant everything to me.\u201c A year after the surgery, Simon was re-examined by Gaslini doctors on a Pobic mission in Uganda.\u00a0 When Miria was 9 years old, she underwent surgery at the Gaslini Hospital in Genoa for a heart defect.   She had trouble breathing and sweated a lot.   \u201dThe surgery changed my life,\u201c says Miria. \u201dEven though I loved studying, I could never seem to concentrate. After the surgery, I finally started to love myself, walk a lot, and work hard in school!\u201c   Her mother, Rosemary, is always in touch with Pobic for her daughter\u2019s follow-up care. During the last visit in January 2024, Gaslini doctors on a mission with Pobic confirmed that Miria\u2019s heart is healthy. Uganda 2023 \u2013 Simon\u2019s Year: Simon and His Struggle for Life Simon Jireh MUGISA, born on March 17,2022 in Uganda with Tetralogy of Fallot, arrived in Italy with his mother, Ms. Teopista Ochora, on January 26, 2023, and was admitted to the Gaslini Children\u2019s Hospital in Genoa on January 27, 2023. \u00a0 He underwent surgery performed by the team led by Dr. Francesco Santoro on February 6, 2023, and was discharged on February 28, 2023. \u00a0 After a successful recovery, Simon and his mother returned to Uganda on March 6, 2023. \u00a0 When Simon Jireh Mugisa arrived in Italy on January 26, 2023, his condition was critical due to Tetralogy of Fallot, a severe congenital heart defect that compromised the proper flow of blood to his lungs and the rest of his body.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":3426,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_thinkrank_schema_form_data":"","_thinkrank_selected_schema_type":"","_thinkrank_additional_schemas":"","_thinkrank_canonical_url":"","_thinkrank_og_title":"","_thinkrank_og_description":"","_thinkrank_og_image":"","_thinkrank_twitter_title":"","_thinkrank_twitter_description":"","_thinkrank_twitter_image":"","_thinkrank_imported_from":"","_thinkrank_focus_keywords":[],"_thinkrank_focus_keyword":"","_thinkrank_robots_meta_enabled":0,"_thinkrank_robots_meta":"","_thinkrank_advanced_robots_meta":"","_thinkrank_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3566","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"campaignId":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3566"}],"version-history":[{"count":67,"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7080,"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3566\/revisions\/7080"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3426"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pobic.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
