The main place of CMF (Ceyrac Medical Fondation)
:
The
Pierre Ceyrac Medical Foundation is a non-profit
organisation recognised as so by the Indian government. Its aim
is to provide medical care for the poorest people living in rural
areas and to form people to medical care.
Thanks to the moral and financial support of the Father Ceyrac association
and of the Luxembourg government, a 45 beds hospital has been built
and was inaugurated in July 2000..

The
CMF makes itself known of the rural population by giving out flyers
and sending out a team of nurses daily.
|
The nurses go out prospecting and find the sick in the villages.
They then invite them to come to the hospital to be examined
and treated. These visits take place in the evening when the
field workers have returned home.
|
In
the future, CMF would like to double the number of beds (from 45
to 100) and would like to open specialised wards to answer local
needs: malnutrition, geriatry, maternity, tropical diseases, tuberculosis.
Today
the hospital is looking for funds
to provide the necessary equipment so that it could work at its
best and to hire medical personnel.
