Founded in 1984, the Korea Heart Foundation has been working hard to help people live healthy and happy lives through projects that support medical expenses for patients with heart disease and other diseases who are suffering without treatment due to economic difficulties.

Since the establishment of the foundation, we have given the gift of new life to 40,000 patients by focusing on supporting treatment costs for patients with congenital/acquired heart disease and other diseases. The foundation uses 100% of donations for patients' medical expenses, and has built trust by utilizing business expenses strictly and fairly and operating transparently through annual external audits. Also, in order to help patients with congenital heart disease not only in Korea but also overseas, we went beyond invitational surgery and implemented training support projects for medical staff in other countries. This is a fundamental solution that teaches how to fish rather than gifting fish.

In addition to medical support, the foundation holds ‘Heart Disease Health Lectures’ and the ‘Walking Festival’ to prevent heart disease, and it is researching the present and preparing for the future, such as conducting follow-up research on heart disease patients and granting awards for excellent theses.

Going forward, the Korea Heart Foundation will do its utmost to become the most reliable support organization for heart disease patients who are at risk due to lack of treatment caused by economic problems. We ask for more concern and love for the Korea Heart Foundation so that we can save precious lives and brighten the future of families.

Thank you.
