In recent years, the National Cardiovascular Center Fuwai Hospital has cooperated extensively with several well-known charitable organizations in China to provide assistance to children with congenital heart disease, with remarkable achievements, not only relieving the pain of thousands of children, but also helping their families. At present, 10 foundations have reached cooperation with Fu Wai Hospital, and 6 foundations have carried out large-scale assistance. For children with complex congenital heart disease who are treated at Fu Wai Hospital, the foundation is able to provide a large amount of financial support, and for a small number of children with very serious conditions and extremely difficult families, they can also apply for multiple charitable aid at the same time, greatly reducing the burden of their families. For children with simple congenital heart disease, charitable support and reimbursement from local medical insurance or agricultural cooperative can reduce the out-of-pocket expenses to a very low percentage, or even equal to free treatment.
