Conclusion

We are honored to be a part of NCTC’s pediatric cardiac program’s development and evolution. We look forward to building on the program’s solid foundation and vision for the future and moving it toward providing more advanced and specialized care with optimal outcomes for children born with CHD in Ghana. Due to the training visits by HMOG in 2024, the National Cardiothoracic Center in Accra is on pace to do over 100 pediatric cardiac surgical cases in 2025, a record number for the center over its 30-year history.
