CARING FOR LIVES

We are dedicated to advancing critical care medicine and nursing in underserved regions of our world in accordance with internationally recognized standards; we firmly believe that the care of critically ill patients is an ethical obligation rooted in fundamental human rights and applicable to all.

Our commitment focuses on two areas of expertise: improving perioperative care for patients — especially children — with congenital or acquired heart disease (Cardiac Critical Care), and enhancing early detection and targeted intensive care (including safe anaesthesia) for patients of all ages who are in a serious or life-threatening condition (Emergency Critical Care).

To achieve sustainable structural progress, our efforts — alongside the provision of medical assistance — are anchored in knowledge transfer, the establishment of local training facilities, and the promotion of applied research projects.

As a nonprofit and independent foundation, ROBINAID is not bound by commercial interests nor subject to government influence. We ensure that our services are freely and fully accessible to everyone — without any form of discrimination.

“Where you are born should not determine whether you live, or whether you die.”

Paul David Hewson (Bono)

In Sub-Saharan Africa …

about 95 % of the children suffering on congenital or rheumatic heart disease do not have access to proper care

about 85 % of the population doesn’t have access to life-saving emergency and critical care services

about 75 % of the population doesn’t even have access to basic surgery and safe anaesthesia

“Being a mother, I know what a privilege it is that my children grow up safe, without fear. And being a journalist I know that children in many countries are the first victims of poverty, illness, war, terror, and expulsion. This is why I am committed to humanitarian aid as an Ambassador of ROBINAID.” read more
