Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque Enfants du Monde allows children with heart disease to come to France and be operated on when they cannot be treated in their home country due to lack of financial and technical means. 

Hosted by volunteer foster families and operated on in nine hospitals in France, more than 4,500 children have already been cared for since the association was co-created by Professor Francine Leca in 1996.
