Dr Nichani and a team including surgeon Professor Massimo Caputo from Bristol Royal Hospital for Children travelled to An-Najah University Hospital in Nablus to carry out life-saving heart surgery on five Palestinian children aged between 19 months and ten-years-old over five days. Three of the operations had never been performed in the region before.
Over the course of 2022 Sodexo’s team, led by catering manager Belinda Smith, organised a series of fundraising activities for the Healing Little Hearts charity.
Smith said: “It is hard not to be overwhelmed by the level of determination of Dr Nichani and his team, and the impact the charity has had. It is wonderful to know we are making a contribution. I want to help be a voice for Healing Little Hearts and raise awareness. It’s something I love to do.”
