Christiaan Barnard
Christiaan Barnard was a South African cardiac surgeon who performed the world's first ever heart transplant surgery. Christiaan Barnard was born in Beaufort West, South Africa, 8th November 1922. When Christiaan Barnard graduated he went to study medicine at the University of Cape Town Medical School. On the 3rd of December 1967 Christiaan Barnard became well known for performing the first ever heart-to-heart operation on his patient Louis Washkansky. Sadly Christiaan Barnard passed away due to a fatal asthma attack on the 2nd September, 2001. I believe it’s important to remember Christiaan Barnard as he was the first person to come up with the idea of a heart transplant. Without his amazing idea a lot of people in this world would’ve been gone, so thankfully Christiaan Barnard was here in this world to show others his surgeon skills who carried it down to others to this day.

Thank you for sharing your article on Doctor Christiaan Barnard, Ellma. He was such an amazing man, dedicating his life to helping heart patients, who without his pioneering techniques, would die. Good job, Ellma.
