Anatta and Childlife medical weekend
This weekend Childlife welcomed Anatta who hosted a medical weekend which saw all our children receive a medical check and provided with the necessary medical follow up care.
The clinic was very timely with over 50% of our children needing follow up treatment including 4 who will need to undergo operations. With the end of the rainy season and beginning of the winter the children had many skin infections and other ailments.
We thank Cornelia, Jeri, Mary and Deborah for visiting Childlife
and hosting the medical weekend for our children as well as providing the support to ensure all the children’s cases can be followed up. We also thank them for their financial donations as well as art supplies and musical instruments.
Anatta World Health and Outreach is a non profit and non denominational organization that was founded by Dr. Cornelia Santschi in July 2006. In its beginning stages Anatta consists of a small group of health care professionals and educators dedicated to providing medical and educational equipment and resource support to deserving and under-supported organisations worldwide, operating in impoverished circumstances.

We'd also like to thank Christoph, a medical student from the US who assisted with organising as well as helping during the medical weekend. In addition to volunteering his time we thank him for purchasing 2 pairs of glasses for children whose examinations showed they required them.
Childlife is looking forward to working with Anatta to develop a well rounded medical programme to assist our children to receive improved medical care and attention.
