New therapy room project for NBH has started
Updated news here!
At the moment there are 135 children at NBH; 90% of them have affection of central nervous system, or musculoskeletal system, or hearing and sight, or inborn and hereditary disabilities of different levels; 40% of those children suffer additionally from cerebral palsy.
Physical rehabilitation is one of the most important links in the chain of children’s complex treatment. The doctors of the baby house always try to inculcate new latest methods of cure. So the orphanage has recently gotten equipment, which is known as ADELI suit and is widely used to help children with cerebral palsy all over the world.
To be able to use this new equipment the orphanage needs new physiotherapy room. The old one was built long ago, does not have enough space and necessary facilities and can’t serve the average daily number of patients. It was decided to rebuild one of the verandas into the new room of rehabilitation. These well known verandas (all orphanages all over post soviet countries have them) were foreseen as alternative to outdoor playgrounds in winter time. That’s why they were built without heating and with huge windows all around which make them look like a fish tank. Considering this veranda will be used as a physiotherapy room all year round, it will have to be insolated properly; heating and electrical systems will have to be built.
This project will cost approximately $10,000. The whole room/veranda will have to be reconstructed and special training tracks will have to be constructed.
The realization of this project will:
- improve the level of help given to children with restricted abilities
- create the full complex of medico-social rehabilitation for the children with restricted abilities
- achieve considerable results without medics treatment of the children
This will be one of the most important medical projects for the whole history of LAdS and will allow NBH to be the first medical institute in the region using the advanced ADELI method.
