Founded in 2008 by three siblings and some very close friends, the Swissclinical Foundation is highly privileged to count on the unconditional commitment from two people:
Manuela Maleeva, formally ranked number three in the world of tennis; and Doctor Bruno Fragnière, a specialist in paediatric orthopaedic surgery. Both are members of the Foundation’s council, providing it with their generosity, humanity and commitment. Thanks to them, in just a few months, we have already been able to make the lives of many underprivileged children so much better.
In Bulgaria, handicapped or disabled children have been kept out of the public eye for a very long time. There are still many orphanages and centres in Bulgaria where disabled children lack appropriate medical care, including orthopaedics, among other areas.
While a certain number of basic medical services are covered by the State, orthopaedic equipment, such corsets, braces, prosthetics and orthopaedic shoes, are not. Consequently, the orthopaedic technical profession has not progressed and barely exists in the country.
The Swissclinical foundation wants to help handicapped children in the Stara Zagora region (Bulgaria) by improving the medical orthopaedic services available to them. It intends and hopes to intervene in a sustainable manner through a strategic implementation of the funds provided by donators.
