The UAE Congenital Heart Association aims to achieve high ambitions, and with sincere efforts, hard work and an insightful vision for the future, we can achieve them.

As the association paves the way for future generations, we focus on lifelong care for those affected and affected by congenital heart disease - from childhood to young adulthood. We are the voice of the congenital heart disease community and our preferred resource for our community of patients, their loved ones, and health service providers, as well as for the media, legislators and others.

We believe in empowering individuals with congenital heart disease by improving the quality of their life, ensuring access to the best health care, contributing to providing psychological, moral and social support for the best lifestyle, and coexisting with the health condition, by contributing to the development of appropriate public health policies and community services.

Early diagnosis and treatment of serious heart problems can save the lives of newborns. In fact, we seek to improve the system of early detection rates for congenital heart defects and raise awareness about congenital heart diseases among members of the community and how to prevent them; Help support and connect patients through lifelong congenital heart disease needs and advance congenital heart disease research. Here our work becomes critical, serious and essential in order to improve and change the lives of individuals affected by congenital heart disease and their families and to build a healthy community!

We look forward to making a huge difference to individuals living with challenges with congenital heart disease and their families, and we hope that all individuals affected by congenital heart defects will be able to live a safe and healthy life without restrictions - this is what motivates us and drives our work every day.”
