What People Are Saying about the Foundation
We started the first lung transplant program for insured and uninsured patients in Africa in 2017. The opportunity to visit a high-volume center in Phoenix helped capacitate our team and improve our experience.
Owing to this grant, I was able to develop my career in lung transplantation, and now I am a surgical director of lung transplantation in our hospital.
The ISHLT International Traveling Scholarship exposed me to ECLS support for advanced heart and lung failure. As a Pediatric intensivist, this helped me appreciate the immense impact this has on children and their families.
This ISHLT grant allowed me to begin, run, complete, and prepare a novel feasibility trial for publication in the area of physiotherapy management during postoperative lung transplant recovery.
The ISHLT career development award was a very important grant for me, allowing me to move towards an independent research career. Even though it was not a huge sum of money, it was enough to afford me some scientific independence.
Based on training by Peter McDonal and Kumud Dhital on starting and running a DCD heart transplant program, I built up a program in Vienna and did the first DCD heart transplant in Austria with my team. The award was an absolute game changer!
