News December 2021
Rayan, born on December 29 in our maternity hospital, joins all the staff of the Solidarity Health Center, as well as the members of the Board of Directors, to send you their best wishes for happiness, joy and health for 2022. We want again to thank you , warmly, for your unwavering support.
First assessment for 2021: despite the difficulties encountered, largely linked to the pandemic, it remains obviously extremely positive.
We have made progress in the number of medical acts performed, treated free of charge or at an extremely low price, for patients who are already very poor but whom the economic crisis, linked to the health crisis, has plunged into even greater destitution.
Regarding our maternity hospital, our medical team succeeded in resuscitating a number of newborns who, if the deliveries had not taken place within our facility but at home, would not have survived or would have had irreversible sequelae.
The main facts in this month of December:
– 592 medical procedures were performed. A major influenza epidemic is raging on the island of Sainte Marie, difficult for our medical team to differentiate from a possible Covid infection because tests are almost non-existent.
– In France, two important events enabled us to collect donations and find new donors :
o Since last month, as already mentioned in the November news, the Eckert family has held, every weekend, a chalet on the Soultz sous Forêts Christmas market to offer Malagasy crafts and Alsatian products. Even Santa Claus visited them. The entire proceeds were donated to Andzaha Santé. Many thanks to them and to everyone who contributed.
o At the Château de Joudes Saint Amour during the Open House Day organized by Gérard and Martine Hoareau, our association was honored which also allowed us to raise funds. Thank you Martine and Gérard.
– At the end of the year, several important donations, including one from Switzerland, have been made. Once again, we would like to thank all of our donors without whom nothing would be possible.
We are also pleased to announce the marriage of Rominah and Doctor Maximin, our head doctor of the Solidarity Health Center. We wish them much happiness !
