Safe heart ODV

The association

Our non-profit association was founded in 2013 by cardiac surgeons Maurizio Roberto, Marco Zanobini, Alberto Pilozzi and Samer Kassem, friends before colleagues, and is based on health as a fundamental human right.

Today, our association has a team of health professionals (heart surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, cardiologists) who organise and participate in humanitarian missions.

We carry out surgeries in the field of cardiovascular pathologies and train personnel on site to develop the local health system of our host countries.

We strongly believe in what we do and we count on the help of those who want to share this journey with us.
