A brief introduction to this heart surgeon and social entrepreneur
Heart surgery is expensive. Many of his patients, from poor families, could not afford the cost of treatment. So Dr.Mani decided to try and help sponsor the operations.
This was the simple concept behind an online adventure that started in 1996. Read more about it at Dr.Mani.name

Hi Dr.Mani,
I remember when my father had a number of bypass operations in the late 70's here in Sydney Australia. The amount of stress it put on the family was insane. I remember seeing the big "zipper" mark on my dads chest where he was cut
open. Lucky for my dad the operations were performed by no other than Dr. Victor Chang. Around that same time he also performed the first heart transplant on Fiona Coote. I believe she is still alive. Then some asian gang demanded money from Dr.Chang. When he refused they shot him down.
At age 75, my dad is also still alive to this day.
We are fortunate to have people like Dr.Mani in this world.
thanks,
Bruno Lovrinovic
