Senior medical team visit Britain

 




 


In early May we brought the Director of Health for Gomel Region, with the chief doctors of the two main regional hospitals, on a visit to Britain. They went to neo natal units, intensive care departments, ambulance stations and special schools. As a result of this visit they decided 1) that babies will not be swaddled in their hospitals if we provide enough baby clothes 2) that children’s wards will be brightly decorated and hung with mobiles if we help with this and 3) that they will look at the possibility of providing more medical care within the community, especially in schools. This might help to keep some children out of hospital
