Saving Children's Lives One Heart At A Time(Sozy Khalil)
Israeli pediatric cardiologist Dr Alona Raucher-Sternfeld (R) shares the good news of Sozy Khalil's successful catheterisation with the two-year-old Iraqi girl's mother Silwa Khalil after her surgery at the Wolfson medical center in Holon October 24, 2007 near Tel Aviv. The Kurdish youngster is one of dozens of Iraqi children who have been rushed to Israel this year for life-saving heart surgery organized by the Christian Shevet Achim group and the Israeli-based organization 'Save A Child's Heart'. Since it was founded in 1996, 'Save A Child's Heart' has treated more than 1,700 children from 28 countries around the world bringing most of them to Israel for their surgery.
