“Patric”

Patric Kolosvary is putting on his t-shirt on his 11th birthday, 3 weeks after undergoing a surgery to correct his heart malformation. He is just one of the tens of thousands children in this situation across Romania: 1,200 new cases are diagnosed each year. But just 500 cases can be operated every year because the lack of specialised paediatric heart surgeons. Patric was lucky: a local NGO arranged for a UK surgical team to come and operate him and several other children.
