The surgery that would cost up to K300,000 per patient to go abroad is being done in the country at less than K10,000 a patient.
These patients undergoing operation this week are mainly from the rural areas who were screened last year and are only paying K30 hospital fee for the operation.
The team of 19 from Australia are assisting the local 12 team trained cardiac specialists to conduct lifesaving surgeries on children aged 2-11.
