In Addition to many daily kinds of deseases, we could specialize our treatements of hydrocephaly and spina bifida over the last couple of years. Now, every year many mothers of Rwanda and the surrounding area bring their sick Children to our Healt Center to get help from our doctor Uta Düll.

 

Each operation is like a small miracle, as the patients are given new chances in life by the placement of a shunt to drain the brainwater into the abdominal cavity. 

 

However, the many hydrocephalus surgeries of our hospital would not be possible without the friendly support of..... who donate a large number of shunts to us every year.

The care of Malaria patients is part of our daily medical business.  Although many mosquito nets are distributed every year combined wit indoor spraying, what leads to a  consideral reduction of malaria cases in the last 7 months. Many malaria patients search for our help, especially during the rainy season each autumn.

Thanks to the help of our "Windelmütter/väter" we are able to present pampers and clothes to each newborn child.

Prenatal care is absolute necessary to detect possible complications at time and to prevent.

As we take care of every child within our catchment area, the controll of the nutrition and vaccination of every child is part of the work of the nutrition center, which is part of our hospital.
