Splinting experience

Started with October 2008, when all the Voinicel team did benefit of cources in hand splinting led by Margareta Persson (http://www.artronova.se/eng/all.htm), our center is preparing hand splints for the Voinicel Center beneficiaries and for other children. Thankfull to this abilities (and we are the only ones in Moldova who are prepring splint) lots of children did avoid the surgical operations on their hands and also, different centers and state hospitals (institutions) are asking us to make splits for their beneficiaries.

Last week 2 children from the hospital, Center of Mother and Child, were referred to Voinicel center. On the picture you can see a 7 years old boy who needed urgent splints that we made for him.

The Baby House for abbandoned children from Chisinau have also 4 children (that were consulted by our specialists) who need splints. Despite of the fact that we are limitted in materials for splinting, for these 4 children we will prepare the necessary night splints.
