Aster Volunteers’ ‘Heart 2 Heart Cares 2026’ campaign has concluded, having facilitated free pediatric heart surgeries for 313 children.
The campaign, which ran from World Heart Day—September 29, 2026—until November 1, saw the participation of over 45,000 registered individuals globally.
Over the past three years, the Aster DM Foundation and its affiliated hospitals have performed 313 free pediatric heart surgeries for underprivileged children and have pledged to conduct at least 50 additional surgeries.
More than 2,000 people took part in a ‘Mega Walk’ held at Al Safa Park in Dubai. The closing ceremony featured cultural performances and a variety of other programs.
While Aster Volunteers contributed to the cause, participants supported the initiative through walking and fitness challenges. The campaign also promoted awareness about heart health, with contributions linked to every 10,000 steps taken or an equivalent number of calories burned.
