IJN Foundation was established in 1995 with a mission to raise philanthropic support for the care of heart patients who seek treatment at the Institut Jantung Negara (IJN/ National Heart Institute).
IJN Foundation is a non-profit organization with tax exemption status.
Under the IJN Foundation’s Patient Assistance Programme, the Foundation has spent more than RM4 million each year to fund the treatment cost for poor and needy patients, for their heart surgery, purchase of devices and heart transplant surgery. The Foundation is also the main supporter of the ongoing research done by IJN’s specialists in cardiovascular diseases.
The foundation relies heavily on the generous support of corporates and kind donors to help it continue its’ philanthropic mission for the benefit of those less fortunate. With heart disease as the leading cause of death in Malaysia, it is even more vital that funds are available, to help more patients and to save more lives.
