In the summer of 2009 Liuba Popa solicited aid from Hippocrates Center as  she was in need of an orthopedic chair. Her family lives in a village from Telenesti  district. Liuba’s parents were directed by other parents to request aid from Hippocrates Center where she was provided with necessary orthopedic chair.

Hippocrates Center has granted her request but unfourtunatly in the absence of prerequisite cariage and regular contact with phisiotherapist she could not meet the challenging complications of  the disability that she suffers from – Cerebral Palsy.

In march 2010 within consultations at Hippocrates  it was determined that the child had suffered severe changes of the hip joints which with no treatment deteriorates the ability of sitting.

Shortly she was urgently consulted  by orthopedic specialists from the  National Research Institute in the field of Maternal and Child Health and they recommended orthopedic surgical interventions. Liuba’s mother refused this procedure on the grounds that she does not have the money for the trip to the city and  living wages as both parents are currently  unemployed.

At the Hippocrates Board meeting it was decided that the family would be helped,  so that the child doesn’t loose any more time for surgegical treatment.

Receintly Liuba had succesfull orthopedic surgery at both of her hips and at the moment being she needs to consolidate bones and to start physical therapy.
