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.

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.
