Osteomyelitishilfe e.V.

About us

The association is concerned with the treatment and control of chronic osteomyelitis in children and adolescents in developing countries. In doing so, we provide direct medical aid by sending medical staff and by providing medical equipment, and we support other organisations dedicated to the treatment, follow-up and prevention of osteomyelitis. Since 2015, our focus has been on supporting the Kibogora Hospital in Rwanda. We are currently supporting Rotary Germany in the implementation of a prevention programme for the early detection of acute osteomyelitis in order to prevent the terrible chronic forms of osteomyelitis in children and young people. Within the framework of the new construction measures for surgery and gynaecology that have already begun, we want to use donations to finance the construction of a new central sterilisation unit for both departments at Kibogora Hospital (www.osteomyelitishilfe.de).
