Romania update

Romania update

Two physio volunteers, Heather and Victoria, recently completed a training course hosted by the Maria Beatrice centre in Alba Iulia Romania. Some of the participants were from neighbouring Moldova.

There were two spare standing frames at the Romanian centre which fitted into the cars of the Moldovans. Two days later they were in use! Before receiving the equipment, neither child had the experience of standing.

The little girl was very happy with the result and her mum was amazed! They took the stander home with them and will be followed up in two months.

The little boy can now access all areas of the rehabilitation centre in the stander, and can reach and play much more than he could when he was lying down.

“Thank you for this amazing gift!” was the response from the paediatrician Dr. Gincota.
