The Italian club has connections in Raipur (Chhattisgarh, India) and passed on details about the proposed cardiac facility.<\/p>\n<p>The Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani hospital in Raipur is a charitable hospital dedicated to the treatment of children suffering from heart defects and disease. Its services are free.<\/p>\n<p>The hospital hoped to set up a homograft bank which would provide organs \u2018on site\u2019 for its patients. This would massively improve services for the children.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 a group of doctors led by Dr Marco Pozzi, Consultant Paediatric Cardiac Surgeon based in Ancona, Italy, devised a fundraising campaign involving Rotary International clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Denise Pozzi, of SI Jesi, drew the project to Crosby\u2019s attention. Would Crosby Soroptimists support them with a donation towards the development of the centre? Yes, was the response.<\/p>\n<p>The official opening ceremony of the Homograft Bank was held in late 2022. It took a huge effort to raise the funds &#8211; $182,000 \u2013 thanks to over forty Rotary clubs, Kiwanis and the two Soroptimist clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Margaret Davidson, President of SI Crosby, said, &#8220;The news that this life-changing facility is at last operational &#8211; and that Crosby Soroptimists played a small part in the project &#8211; is excellent.&#8221;[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;white&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1670262300637-98efe2a4-f835-0&#8243; include=&#8221;6253,6252,6251&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] A paediatric cardiac centre in India is up and running thanks, in part, to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":6256,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Heartfelt Thanks | News | Blog | Events | SI Crosby<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Crosby : Blog &amp; News : Heartfelt Thanks : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Crosby .
