Här är en film om arbetet vid Panzisjukhuset och kvinnocentret Dorkas dit alla mössor, filtar och andra fina saker från Värma liten-insamlingen kommer att skickas. Bland annat berättar femtonåriga Emilian om vad som hände henne när hon var tretton år och på väg hem från skolan, och dr Denis Mukwege berättar om det som han kallar ”hoppets fönster”:
En dokumentär som både berör och upprör. Hur många barn föds på Panzisjukhuset varje år? Hur många kvinnor bor/arbetar på Dorkas? Vänliga hälsningar Pia
Svar till Pia:
Det var bra frågor som jag har skickat vidare till Mikael på PMU! Här kommer lite information från http://www.panzihospital.org så länge:
”From 1999 to June 2010, the Panzi Hospital treated 25,441 women for gynecological conditions, many of them severe cases of reproductive trauma or trauma from sexual violence. 5,812 operations have been performed, including 2,551 cases of fistula repair.
In 2004, a specific program was developed to respond to the large number of survivors of sexual violence seeking help at Panzi Hospital. The SSV-project is funded by ECHO and Sida and implemented by PMU (the Swedish Pentecostal Mission’s Relief and Development Agency). It aims to treat and heal survivors and women with severe gynecological disorders through medical and psycho-social assistance. The project works together with Engenderhealth (an American NGO supported by USAID) which funds fistula surgery and trains medical staff in fistula repair. The Stephen Lewis Foundation treats survivors who have been infected with hiv/aids, providing them with anti-retrovirals. The medical care at the Panzi Hospital extends to rural areas through mobile medical teams funded by UNICEF and training of rural health personnel. Every day women take back control of their bodies through surgery, psychological and socio-economic support.
Panzi Hospital also maintains and supports socio-economic reintegration, legal assistance and psycho-social care for survivors of sexual violence in three health zones in South Kivu through the Ushindi project (supported by USAID). The hospital is committed to ensure that the care that survivors receive in their home village and at the Panzi Hospital is of the best quality and is available to all who need it.”
