The “Heart” Fund not only establishes an open funding mechanism, but also standardises and normalises the process of targeted donation – screening – surgery – hospital visits – follow-up visits. Every time a project is carried out, information on the recipient’s family situation, medical reports and treatment costs are released to the donor simultaneously, allowing for all-round supervision and full transparency of the process and results.
