This is part of our AHLTA history as well ♥️

In 1984, Dr Victor Chang gathered 10 patients whose lives were saved through pioneering heart transplant surgery.
This remarkable photo captures the excitement of this amazing moment in time, and represents the future of cardiac surgery in Australia.

Today, the Victor Chang Foundation continues to honour the legacy left by Dr Chang by supporting the next generation of heart surgeons and advancing life-changing innovation.
