When people think of sponsoring a complicated heart or spine surgery, it is only natural to expect the price ticket to be tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.  However, the Entoto Foundation has formed partnerships with medical facilities in India that allow us to sponsor patients for less than $6,000 per surgery (on average.)  The Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS) in Kerala, India is one of the most reputable hospitals in all of Asia and has performed complex heart surgery on several of our patients with successful outcomes.

In the US, some of our patients have received their surgeries "pro bono" from such esteemed medical institutions as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA.   Funds to cover the cost of airfare are often the only dollars needed to help save lives.

For Example:
Latest heart surgery in India - $5,125 USD
Plane ticket from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Los Angeles, CA - $2,650 USD
