This author has yet to write their bio.Meanwhile lets just say that we are proud swissclinical contributed a whooping 50 entries.
This week, Ketsia and Kilian assisted us with the technical part of our work in Bulgaria. With Angel’s help, they produced 11 orthoses. On this visit, 65 children were given consultations and five were fitted with devices. This visit also marked a symbolic milestone: we have now conducted in-depth assessments of 500 children in orthopaedics. […]
This would have been an unremarkable visit if not for the fact that for the first time since our work began in Bulgaria, no Swiss orthopaedic technician was present. Our principal Bulgarian technician, Angel, is now fully independent in the creation of leg orthoses and we were able to produce five devices. Dr Fragnière saw […]
During this standard week, we examined 50 children and provided nine orthoses. Three new candidates for orthopaedic technician training spent the week with us, partly under the aegis of the Stara Zagora Community Donation Fund, the Bulgarian-Swiss project developed in collaboration with the Foundation. The three candidates are Lucie, one of Dr Gyurov’s employees, and […]
A visit to the company of our Swiss assistant Dimitri and loyal Bulgarian assistant Angel, accompanied this time by Kamen and Netko, two potential candidates for orthopaedic technician training (selected as part of our government-supported training project). As a reminder, this three-year training project for Bulgarian orthopaedic technicians was made possible by the unwavering commitment […]
It has been exactly seven years since the Swissclinical Foundation started its work in Bulgaria and the entire team is still just as enthusiastic as ever. Assisted by Dimitri and Ketsia, everyone has done an excellent job this week. Many ortheses have been supplied and countless consultations have taken place, including many new cases. The […]
A visit packed with medical work. Ketsia and Kylian produced a dozen walking orthoses with Angel. Geko’s prosthesis also had to be redone because, somewhat surprisingly, the foot had broken. Kylian managed to remake this prosthesis in record time and we were able to deliver it before the end of our stay. More than 60 […]
This week, Dimitri came to Bulgaria to represent the technical orthopaedic team. As usual, he was able to work with Angel, our Bulgarian candidate, who is continuing to perfect his autonomy and skill in making walking orthoses. Dimitri also found time to redo Geko’s orthoprosthesis, which had reached the end of its lifespan. It was […]
A busy week of activities that have almost become routine: there were follow-up examinations for 56 children, as well a few new patients. Kylian, the only Swiss technician present this week, made eight orthoses with the help of Angel and Kamen, our two Bulgarian candidates. Kylian gave them both a day’s theoretical training. Other than […]
The Foundation team was truly complete this week as our three Swiss technicians (Ketsia, Dimitri and Kylian) were able to go to Bulgaria with Manuela and Bruno. Assisted on-site by Dr. Gyurov, Angel and Kamen – a new local candidate in orthopedic equipment training – we were able to carry out a considerable amount of […]
From 18th to 24th of november it was a new week of consultations and fittings in excellent working conditions. Angel, Dimitri and Ketsia produced 14 ortheses this week. Approximately 50 children were examined, including many new cases. Although Angel, who has now worked with us for several years, is perfectly capable of producing ortheses […]
