🏆ACHIEVEMENT SPOTLIGHT!! A heartbeat of hope. In 2012, a 16-month-old baby in Rome received the world's smallest artificial heart, a titanium pump weighing just 11 grams to survive until a donor heart became available. Diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, the child underwent an eight-hour surgery approved by the Italian health ministry and the device’s inventor, Dr. Robert Jarvik. This tiny yet powerful device sustained the baby’s life for 13 critical days, bridging him to a successful heart transplant. A powerful reminder of how innovation, precision, and compassion in medicine can turn impossibility into survival. Here's to the surgeons, scientists, and silent heroes behind every tiny beat that matters. ~Thoughts of India #surgicalinnovation #pediatriccardiology #artificialheart #medicalbreakthrough #leadershipinmedicine #globalsurgery #hopethroughscience . . . . . ----------- 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐆+𝐊𝐅𝐇𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐚𝐫𝐲 organized by 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑅𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝐺𝑙𝑜𝑏𝑎𝑙 (𝑇𝑂𝑅𝐺), in collaboration with 𝐾𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐹𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑎𝑙 𝐻𝑜𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 (𝐾𝐹𝐻), 𝐾𝑖𝑔𝑎𝑙𝑖, 𝑅𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎 in the vibrant city of Kigali, Rwanda 🇷🇼. ▪️𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐢𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 & 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭; https://torg2025.eventbrite.ie ▪️ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭; www.torgevents.org ....
