Abstract

A case study in global cooperation between multiple charities and cardiac centers helped to save a 8-year-old Moroccan boy suffering a case of Laubry-Pezzi syndrome with severe aortic regurgitation and ventricular septal defect. His recuperation was aided by the support of communities in both Morocco and Qatar.
