Allow Glenfield Hospital to continue with complex heart surgery
Glenfield Hospital in Leicester has been ordered by the NHS to halt complex heart surgeries for patients born with heart problems. This will mean that patients and their families will have to travel much further to find life saving operations. This means many patients risk losing their lives.
Congenital heart disease is the most frequent form of major birth defects in newborns affecting close to 1% of newborn babies (8 per 1,000) - chd-uk.co.uk
It has been estimated that there are currently 250,000 adults with CHD in the UK - chd-uk.co.uk
CHD’s are the #1 cause of DEATH from a birth defect, killing twice as many children as cancer every year - chd-uk.co.uk
