The Club Suisse de Monaco has donated €8,000 to the Cardiothoracic Centre of Monaco (CCM), reinforcing its long tradition of charitable support and civic involvement in the Principality.

The donation was presented during a formal visit to the specialist clinic earlier this month. Club members were welcomed by senior staff at the CCM, including Vice-President Guy Nervo, cardiologist Dr Filippo Civaia, and medical director Professor Eugenio Rosset.

The funds were part of a wider total of €70,000 raised during the Club’s 75th anniversary celebration in October 2024. The event, which was attended by Prince Albert II, saw members contribute to a fundraising drive in support of several local institutions.

During their visit to the CCM, Club representatives were given an overview of the centre’s work, including its long-running humanitarian programme. Since 1987, the CCM has provided surgical care for patients with complex congenital heart conditions, many of whom come from crisis-affected or under-resourced regions. Nearly 700 humanitarian procedures have been carried out since 2008, supported in part by private donations.

Established in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Club Suisse de Monaco has served for decades as a cultural and social bridge between Switzerland and Monaco. Its 75th anniversary offered members the opportunity to renew their commitment to philanthropy and community engagement.
