Our Activities in 2023
The state of emergency in Arequipa is provisionally in place until mid-January 2023 and it is now difficult to indicate whether or not it will be extended. Some of this has to do with the success from the government in removing social unrest from the population.
With several medical teams we have set dates for this year to hold an operation project. Furthermore, we have many requests lying around from mostly medical students to complete their internship of 3 to 6 months in our hospital.

Free campaigns

Free on-site consultations with the PazMovil
We hold free on-site consultation hours with our mobile consultation room, the PAZMovil. Our goal is to hold these consultation hours every month, as we have accomplished in the past year.
Taking care of the integral (free) aftercare processes
We provide the integral (free) aftercare programs (such as speech classes, psychological treatments, primary dental care, rehabilitation and incontinence control) and medical consultations/admissions for both the children from the schisis and spina bifida projects.
The ClinicaPAZHolandesa/'Tony Molleapaza Rojas' children's hospital
The hospital provides daily consultations, screening of patients for surgery projects, counseling and aftercare, medical consultations, dentistry, speech therapy, psychological counseling and physical therapy/rehabilitation. The hospital has the following specialties: pediatrics, pediatric surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, gynecology, orthopedics, cardiology, ENT and urology.
Quality of care for the patients of several Peruvian hospitals
The continuation of the quality of care for the patients of several Peruvian hospitals in Southern Peru by donating basic medical materials (medicines, infusion systems, sterile gloves, drains for hydrocephalus, surgical kits, suture materials, gauzes, etc.).
Provide training, workshops and education
The continuation of providing training, workshops and education to parents, patients and professionals alike. These include incontinence training (urine and feces) for patients with spina bifida. Other aftercare also involves information and training for parents and patients.
Whatsapp group for parents with down children
In 2017, we established a (whatsapp) parent group for down children and now more than 300 parents have become members. Since January 1, 2020, we offer multidisciplinary care (pediatrician, ENT doctor, physical therapist, speech therapist and dentist) to these children. Children with DS have intellectual disabilities and delayed general development, both cognitive and motor. They also have additional conditions, such as congenital heart defects, ear, nose and throat problems, and feeding problems.
Whatsapp group for parents with autistic children
In 2021, we created a (whatsapp) group for parents with autistic children and now more than 500 parents have become members. By holding Q&A internet sessions with professionals (psychologist) or one of the parents, we try to provide more information and tools.
Workshops for medics, paramedics and field workers
We organize workshops for medics, paramedics and field workers on topics including: Education and Prevention of birth defects through folic acid and nutrition, incontinence management, anesthesia in children.
Refresher courses
We organize continuing education courses (including pediatrics, pediatric neurology, pediatric anesthesia, intensive care, international protocols Evidence Based Medicine and Care for medics and paramedics working in the children's hospital.

Aftercare Pathways
We provide FREE medical assistance to children in Peru
The gap between rich and poor remains wide. Children who are born with a defect such as a schism (hazelip) or spina bifida (spina bifida) and where the parents do not have any economic resources, are not operated on and receive no treatment. Since the year 2000 we have operated more than 5000 children for free and not only that but they have all had or are still in a full aftercare program.
