Medical Center brings health and hope
I am happy to share with you my experiences from my working visit to Kenya in September. It is amazing what has been achieved in Maji Moto in such a short time.
Medicine far from home and in a different world
Swiss medical student Corvin Ravaioli completed an internship at the Rhein Valley Medical Center in Kenya and experienced how medical care can make a big difference even under modest conditions.
Achieving a lot with few resources
Corvin Ravaioli describes our Medical Center as very well positioned. With comparatively little money, he says, a lot can be achieved and thousands of people can be helped.
The first baby has arrived – it’s a boy!
We received some happy news this week from the maternity ward of our day clinic. Clinic director Violet Maghanga writes about the attached pictures: ‘This is our first successful delivery.’
Medical care and education go hand in hand
Our President Erich Kühnis visited our project again in May. Here he reports on successes and new plans.
Rhine Valley Fund established
With the Rhine Valley Fund, income from the day clinic flows back into the community. You can also make a deposit.
Health gives perspective – education opens up the future
To mark our 25th anniversary, we ran a stand at the May market in Altstätten. We were able to welcome many market guests and tell them how well our Medical Centre has developed.
Visit us at the May market on May 1
On Thursday, May 1 (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.), the town of Altstätten will be holding one of its big markets, the May Market. You will find us at Marktstrasse 24. We are collecting donations to save premature babies.
New building opened for club anniversary
The Rhein-Valley Hospital Association has expanded its day clinic in Kenya. President Erich Kühnis travelled to the opening of the extension in January. There is now also a laboratory, a maternity ward and therapy rooms.
A strong team for better medicine
As our Medical Centre expands, so does our team. Local specialists contribute their knowledge and understanding of the population - for optimal medical care. Get to know our new employees.
