What a mission means
A mobile surgical team performing congenital heart surgery in facilities that do not have that capability, with the equipment and protocols carried in.
Who it is done with
The local host teams — surgical, anaesthetic, perfusion and intensive care — because what should remain after a mission is capacity, not a visit.
For patients and families
