Description of programs
CDE has been providing medico-surgical care to vulnerable children in Jordan since 2012. As the Syrian conflict turned into a protracted humanitarian crisis in the region, paediatric surgical needs also evolved from emergency to gaps in access to health services. CDE identified the following main gaps: in the field of orthopaedics, children do not only need medico-surgical care for war-related trauma and wounds but also for musculoskeletal anomalies, deformities and malformations leading to physical impairments that hamper their participation in society in the short and long run (education, livelihoods, etc.) with multiplier effects on their families and communities at large. Likewise, there is a gap in access to life-saving surgeries for refugee children with congenital cardiac anomalies. Since 2013, CDE organized more than 3,400 specialized consultations in paediatrics orthopaedics and cardiology and operated on more than 600 children and young adults and treated more than 30 new-born babies with non-invasive treatments. Since April 2016, with ECHO’s support, CDE has developed its life-saving and life-changing medico-surgical program with a larger view to improving the healthcare pathway for the target population and ultimately their inclusion and living conditions. First, CDE has developed and strengthened a network of health service providers in order to facilitate the identification of most vulnerable children (mainly refugees) with orthopaedic and cardiac impairments as well as ensure follow-ups and appropriate referrals. Second, CDE launched an early detection component for the most commonly found impairment (e.g. club foot, developmental dislocation of the hip). Third, CDE included a psychosocial support component for operated children and their families. This program is funded by European Union, Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid (ECHO).
In Lebanon, CDE has been working with Heartbeat since 2001 to provide vulnerable children born with congenital heart anomalies with access to best quality care at the Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Beirut. This collaboration further strengthened in 2012 to meet the needs multiplied by the Syrian crisis. Since that date, more than 140 refugee children suffering from cardiac diseases have been treated through this partnership. Since late 2016, CDE has further developed a comprehensive pediatric orthopedic surgery program in partnership with a local organization URDA and the Sacré-Coeur Hospitals of Beirut and Shtoura in the Bekaa valley, providing care to more than 300 children.
