Novick Cardiac Alliance

Since 2022, Agility has supported the Novick Cardiac Alliance (NCA) with several surgical missions, including two to Libya, and one to Lebanon and the DRC. During these missions, the NCA team provides free heart surgeries to children with congenital heart defects or heart diseases. In addition to providing free surgeries, the NCA team of surgeons, doctors, nurses, practitioners and staff provide free training to local medical professionals to enable them to be able to complete similar life-saving pediatric surgeries. In addition to free training, the NCA team also donates urgently required medical equipment to help local facilities. Agility has provided in-kind transportation of medical equipment and cash donations to help fund the cost of the medical missions.

Since 2022, this work has benefitted almost 740 people.
