Pro Criança Cardiac begins 2023 by celebrating saved lives and the contribution to the scenario of congenital heart disease in Brazil, which affects around 30 thousand children per year. The social organization, founded and led by cardiologist Dr. Rosa Celia, provided 1,933 consultations in 2022, the highest number of consultations since its creation in 1996, and absorbed a further 207 children for cardiological monitoring. The beginning of the year is also being marked by Humanizada’s ESG Rating A accreditation, a very important recognition for a Third Sector organization.
According to data from the Ministry of Health, congenital heart defects represent 40% of all malformations at birth, being the condition that kills the most in childhood. The first service is the beginning of a care trajectory – after preventive care during the mother’s pregnancy – and, at Pro Criança, it is carried out by a team of qualified professionals with clinical assessment, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram and 24-hour Holter monitoring. In 2022, Pro Criança Cardiaca welcomed another 207 families.
The medical director of Pro Criança Cardiac, Dr. Isabela Rangel, explains that congenital heart defects are anomalies in the structure and/or function of the heart, which occur during fetal life and reinforces the importance of early diagnosis. “The work carried out at Pro Criança Cardiac is fundamental, as it provides the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of these patients in addition to providing the necessary support to the family”, explains the cardiologist, highlighting that all assistance promoted by the Project is only possible through the contributions of partners and thanks to the participation of volunteers in various tasks. “Without them, it wouldn’t be possible”, declares Dr. Isabela.
In 26 years of operation, 151 thousand people were impacted, 15,255 patients were treated, 100 thousand consultations were performed and 1,703 invasive procedures were performed. Data was recorded until November 2022.
According to the executive director of Pro Criança Cardiac, Mitzy Cremona, the best year in the history of Pro Criança is due to executive management fully integrated with the care goals established by Dr. Rosa Celia and Dr. Isabela Rangel, as well as the commitment to the principles of transparency and agility in reporting. “It is extremely important to attribute the results achieved in 2022 to the efficiency of the best corporate governance practices adopted and the effective participation of Directors in the strategies adopted”, she explains.
The ESG rating A accreditation, released in the first days of 2023, endorses the high level of organizational maturity, meaning that Pro Criança Cardiac works with better ESG Performance (Environmental, social and governance), customer satisfaction, well-being, trust , diversity, transparency and ethics. Consequently, it also means obtaining better financial results in the medium and long term, explains Mitzy Cremona.

Founder and president of Pro Criança is among the 50 authors of “The post-pandemic world”

The founder of Pro Criança Cardiac, Dr. Rosa Celia, is among the 50 authors of the book The Post-Pandemia World, which has just been released by Nova Fronteira and was organized by lawyer José Roberto de Castro Neves. Personalities that are references in their fields participated in the work, such as actress Fernanda Torres, journalist and presenter Pedro Bial and businessman Roberto Medina. Copyright will be fully transferred to Pro Criança Cardiac.
The Post-Pandemic World brings reflections on the before and after Covid-19 as a determining episode in this century and debates the consequences of recent political, health and economic actions. What should we expect for our future and the future of the next generations? A drastic transformation in everything human? Or just the return of the world as it always was?
In the book, personalities give their opinion on the main spheres of human action, taking into account each of their complexities and dilemmas: cardiologist Rosa Célia wrote about the importance of social projects and the interface of hers, Pro Criança Cardiac, with the own life story. The importance of the third sector, reinforced in times of pandemic, is also in Dr. Rosa’s text, who hopes that, from everything that is being experienced, there will be some learning for the future.
Among her considerations is also the role of medical institutions beyond caring for patients infected by the coronavirus. For her, part of worrying about those who are at home and suffering the effects of isolation, who are without basic goods, without housing, for example.
Dr. Rosa believes that the pandemic brought about the mobilization of people and institutions, making everyone more generous, whether in the form of partnerships or individually. She saw this happen up close at Pro Criança and the number of donations increased, despite the difficulties.
“I have great hope that these changes in trajectory will remain, so that more and more people will benefit”, wrote Dr. Rosa, and also brought to reflection the words of businessman Joey Reiman, which, for her, should be valid for life : “Fierce competition is not sustainable. Compassion is. In the decades to come, companies will focus on the business of life and work for the biggest customer of all: humanity.”
