Touching Hearts in Tibet

China

Tibet has a high congenital heart disease rate of around 7%, its cause due to a range of different factors. While operation is considered a standard and effective medical solution to congenital heart disease, hospitals in Tibet are generally not equipped nor staffed for the procedure. Rather, timely diagnosis and treatment can greatly improve children’s survival rate and live a healthy life by beating the odds of congenital heart disease, a leading cause of birth defect-related deaths.

To address this identified need, ZeShan Foundation and Si Yuan Foundation pooled funds to support the “Touching Hearts in Tibet” project. This humanitarian effort included the purchase and installation of a Bi-plane Catheterization laboratory and the construction of a 16-bed paediatric intensive care at the Tibetan People’s Hospital in Lhasa, both the first of its kind at this institution. In the first phase of the project, five Tibetan doctors received training from volunteer doctors from China, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States, whose time and expertise have contributed to the saving of many children’s lives at the facility since the project’s inception. The government contributed $800,000 to put the facility in full operation, which now allows every child up to the age of 18 with congenital heart disease in Tibet to receive free heart care at this institution.

When an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit…Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

When an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
