Humanitarian cardiac surgeries consisting of highly specialized cardiovascular teams from developed countries can provide valuable local assistance with patient care in the emerging economies of the developing world. However, the best approach for developing a sustainable center in the emerging world is still debatable. Herein, we present a report a collaborative initiative between the Cardiac Eye International Foundation and the Obafemi Awolowo University, ILEIFE,Nigeria.
