Helping One Another Can Make The World Better

Creating an impact beyond your medical practice

  • After several years tending to a ceaseless stream of patients presenting with routine complaints, a sense of monotony can settle into a doctor’s day to day practice. While each patient remains distinct, remarkable advancements in diagnostics have made encountering undiagnosed congenital heart diseases uncommon. The once-remarkable cases can blur into a homogeneous procession, and the thrill that once accompanied the complexities of medicine dulls. The thousandth outpatient consultation hardly differs from the very first. Then, unexpectedly, a young girl from the Philippines presented with profound cyanosis, with an oxygen saturation at a mere 72% and a hematocrit reaching an alarming 65%. Her severely clubbed fingers and toes accentuate her chronic condition. You diagnose her with unrepaired Tetralogy of Fallot and wonder how poor her quality of life has been. The intriguing case leaves you pondering about Dr. Helen B. Taussig’s medical practice, and casts a spotlight on the realities beyond.

Inspiration from thousands of miles away

  • Allow me to introduce baby My, an adorable 2-month-old girl grappling with a recent diagnosis of Double Inlet Left Ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, and hypoplastic aorta. These days in the developed world, there would be a cardiology conference held to discuss her staged single ventricle palliation, with careful assessment of any associated medical conditions and close medical follow up. Unfortunately for baby My, she was born in Vietnam, a world away, at a time when a congenital heart disease such as hers equals a death sentence, something that her family can hardly accept. They would literally cross rivers and climb mountains to get her life-saving care. Many other parents would do the same for their children if somehow there was a way. 
  • At the end of the tumultuous but incredible 3-month journey, Vietnam had completed its first Norwood operation and Baby My was its first survivor! The countless e-mails and hours spent on the case made us consider a more refined system of communication to care for such patients. We thought of an online forum that could help provide insight, care guidance, and eventually save vast numbers of patients around the world. With this in mind, MD1World was founded. 
  • We at MD1world believe that there should be 1 world, a world in which parents are not alone in their journey to find care for their children born with a congenital defect. Our mission is to connect healthcare providers around the globe to share their expertise and provide high-quality care for all children, no matter the obstacles.

These Foundations serve as our eyes and ears on the ground in the furthest parts of the globe. All have been fully vetted and researched so that we understand their goals, their values, and their dedication to serving the needs of their community. Some are large, some small. Many serve urban populations while others are located in remote countryside. All have an unwavering commitment to provide the very best in medical care to their patients.

  • International Pediatric Specialists Alliance for the Children of Vietnam

The International Pediatric Specialists Alliance for the Children of Vietnam (IPSAC) assists their Vietnamese healthcare colleagues in enhancing the pediatric surgical capacity and increasing access to surgical care for all children of Vietnam.
