This is very important for the health of both mother and child. Lives have already been saved in our maternity ward, which opened this year. Corvin Ravaioli from Goldach is a medical student. He completed a four-week internship at our Medical Centre in September and gained an in-depth insight into everyday life at the clinic. Read on to find out more about his experiences and insights.<\/p>\n<p>I am very happy about the positive development of the Medical Center. The clinic team is doing an excellent job and the benefits for the population are enormous. My colleagues on the board in Switzerland are also working tirelessly to raise the urgently needed funds. However, I must also report that it is becoming increasingly difficult to provide the annual operating budget of 100,000 Swiss francs. My greatest concern is that we may no longer be able to do so. This would be a disaster for everyone involved and would make us very sad. We have developed an effective idea with the \u201cDonors recruit donors\u201d campaign. You can find out more about this on the back of this letter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7258\" style=\"width: 104px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7258\" class=\" wp-image-7258\" src=\"https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"94\" height=\"70\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-400x299.jpg 400w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-600x449.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126-800x598.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/photo_2025-02-08_14-07-54-e1750611053126.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 94px) 100vw, 94px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7258\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Erich K\u00fchnis<br \/>President of RVH<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rhein-valley-hospital.org\/online-spenden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">You can donate online here.
