Do you know how many children are born every single year around the world with the most common birth defect? What percentage of children born with this condition actually live in a country where appropriate care is available? What are non-government organizations (NGOs) doing to bridge the gap between in care for these most vulnerable people?

Tune in to this episode of "Heart to Heart with Anna" to meet Bistra Zheleva - an advocate for children born in low-resource countries who need live-saving surgeries for their congenital heart defects. Bistra has a wealth of information about what CHDs look like worldwide, what problems people in countries like Malaysia, Brazil, China, Vietnam, and India face on a daily basis, what organizations have come together to assist people worldwide, and how even a common person with no medical training can still be part of a world-wise voice for the CHD community.
