A component of SIGH’s mission is to provide the connection and means for educating and supporting medical specialist training in developing countries.
In October 2017, Dr. Ulrika Birgersdotter-Green, a cardiologist from the University of California, San Diego, led a team comprised of support pediatric cardiac echo specialists, pacemaker technicians, cardiac interventionists and adult and pediatric cardiovascular surgeons to provide cardiac specialist medical education and training at the University of Eduardo Mondlane, (UEM) in Maputo, Mozambique.
The group of cardiac specialists worked with the UEM cardiologists and medical staff through formal lectures, daily workshops, and assistance with procedures in surgery, electrophysiology and echocardiograms.
SIGH hopes to continue to support this partnership in the future.
