The Mobile Paediatric Cabinet of the Foundation of Vlad Plahotniuc “Edelweiss” reached Cîrpesti village, Cantemir district, where 76 children received free consultations within the “Revive Moldova” campaign, which continues to roam the country.

The children have benefited from thorough medical investigations carried out by the team of paediatricians and ultrasonographers in parents’ joy, which have no money and are forced to travel tens of kilometres to other district centres to take their babies to doctor.

“Very well, we are very pleased about this. In our town Cantemir there is no paediatrician and it is complicated, neither is a neuropathologist, we have to go to Comrat, we pay for the road and the doctor, and the consultation.”
 
Also, the administration of Cîrpesti village claims that the distance to the hospital and the polyclinic is the most often impediment for parents to go to the doctor.
“It’s very good when something good is done for people. There is some distance to Cantemir town, where there is a hospital and a polyclinic. But parents cannot afford to visit it regularly, to get their children investigated by a doctor and I am really grateful to the Edelweiss Foundation for this”, said the mayor of Cîrpesti village Ion Bizu.
 
So far, around 12,000 children from 202 villages have been consulted by doctors within the campaign. The organisers plan to visit another 117 localities. The project is part of the series of campaigns supported by the Foundation of Vlad Plahotniuc “Edelweiss” to support families, mothers and children from Moldova and is organised in partnership with the Ministry of Health.
 
Next week the Mobile Paediatric Cabinet will stop in Criuleni, Cantemir and Drochia districts. The complete schedule is constantly updated and is available on the Edelweiss Foundation’s website – www.edelweiss.md.
