A Mission Rooted in Action

Dr. David Luu’s vision for philanthropy began in 2001 in Burkina Faso, where, as a medical student, he founded EMILIE Humanitary, a student-led organization to bring medical aid to underserved communities.

This early commitment to global health grew into The Heart Fund, which he launched in 2010 to provide life-saving heart surgeries for children worldwide.

Over the years, his mission has expanded beyond cardiac care to longevity and health equity, ensuring that cutting-edge medical advancements benefit not just the privileged few but populations everywhere.

For Dr. Luu, philanthropy is not an afterthought - it’s the driving force behind everything he does.
