Report

Thanks to your support, the foundation's specialists conducted an in-person educational seminar for ultrasound diagnostics doctors in Irkutsk. The specialists shared their knowledge with local doctors about early diagnosis of spina bifida, possibilities of intrauterine surgeries, and proper care for pregnant women.

A particularly valuable part of the meeting was the stories of our beneficiary families. Mariya joined the seminar with her daughter Anya, who, thanks to a timely intrauterine surgery, received a chance for healthy development. The doctors were able to meet the little girl in person, learn about her progress, and see firsthand how important timely assistance is.

Thank you for helping make qualified care more accessible for families from different regions of Rossiya. Thanks to you, doctors receive the necessary knowledge, and pregnant women have the opportunity to learn about a diagnosis in time, receive support, and not be left alone with a difficult choice.

About the campaign

Three specialists need to travel to Irkutsk to train doctors

Maria from Irkutsk was eagerly awaiting the birth of her daughter. During a routine checkup early in her pregnancy, she was diagnosed with spina bifida. Doctors said there was no cure. Maria didn't give up and began searching for information herself. That's how she learned about our foundation and the possibility of in-utero surgery.

She was sent to Moscow, where doctors performed the surgery before her baby was born. Maria recently gave birth to a daughter, Anya. She is now developing well, thanks to the successful outcome of the diagnosis.

Maria received help, but she had to travel thousands of kilometers to find qualified care. To make care more accessible, it's important to train doctors locally. Our specialists are currently being sought in Irkutsk. They will be able to impart knowledge on early diagnosis and proper care for pregnant women. This requires paying for tickets for three specialists.

Support this fundraiser, and together we'll help pregnant women receive timely support and give children a chance at a healthy life.
