Approximately 10% will be used for administrative expenses, management, and fundraising.

We maintain a database containing all pacemaker recipients. The pacemakers donated by WorldPace have telemetry transmission capability. Attending physicians can monitor the pacemaker performance data remotely from anywhere on Earth either by using our equipment or equipment they may own.

We work with corresponding doctors and surgeons in countries all over the world to identify the neediest patients outside the USA.

No. Under USFDA rules WorldPace is not permitted to distribute reprocessed pacemakers in the USA.

To save the lives of poor people who would otherwise never have a chance to receive a pacemaker due to their extremely high cost.

New pacemakers cost between $5,000 and $35,000, plus the costs of implanting them. So the entire cost of a pacemaker and attendant medical services can be over $100,000 in certain parts of the world. WorldPace provides 100% of all the costs associated with delivering and implanting the pacemaker. Nothing is left for the patient to pay.
