في مركز السلام لجراحة القلب في سوبا الحلة ، الخرطوم ، لا يمكن للعديد من المرضى البقاء على قيد الحياة إلا من خلال المراقبة المستمرة والمساعدة من قبل كل من الموظفين والآلات. أي تدخل في الرعاية الطبية المقدمة من شأنه أن يعرض حياتهم للخطر.

Our founder Gino always worked to ease the suffering of others.
He did so for a simple reason: he thought it was the right thing to do.
Today he would have been 75 years old.
