CHILDREN OF CHINA PEDIATRICS FOUNDATION OUR MISSION The mission of Children of China Pediatrics Foundation is to provide direct medical treatment for disabled children in China’s orphanages. As a not-for-profit, non-partisan organization, we send pediatric medical teams from the United States to China to perform surgeries on orphans to correct disfiguring birth defects and disabilities. SURGICAL MISSIONS CCPF’s medical teams have performed hundreds of surgeries and medical procedures on orphaned children from all over China including the provinces of Anhui, Anwei, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Jilin, Liaoning, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Zhejiang. We perform orthopedic, plastic, urological and general pediatric surgeries to correct conditions such as spina bifida, polio, cerebral palsy, tuberculosis of the spine, cleft lip and palate, eye strabismus, webbed hands and club foot. The children we operate on range in age from infants to adolescents. Every mission includes training for local hospital staff. THE CHILDREN IN CHINA’S ORPHANAGES EDUCATION, REHABILITATION AND OTHER PROGRAMS Today, there are hundreds of thousands of children living in orphanages throughout China. While even the healthiest of orphaned children face tremendous obstacles, the future for those with disabilities is far more bleak. Although, their conditions are often correctable, these children are unlikely to receive surgery. Most will never be adopted, and some do not survive at all. TANGIBLE RESULTS In just an hour or two, a doctor can change the life of a child forever. Almost immediately, we can see how a life has been transformed. Because we provide on-site medical services, your donation goes directly for the care and treatment of children with disabilities. • Visiting Scholar Program—we provide scholarships for Chinese medical professionals from orphanages and hospitals to come to the United States to study and learn new techniques • Rehabilitation—The Spagnoletti Rehabilitation program provides training, including speech, physical and occupational therapy for orphanage staff and foster parents of orphaned children with special needs, such as cerebral palsy • Gift Surgeries—we bring children to hospitals in the United States to correct conditions that require extremely complex medical procedures • Medical Equipment—we underwrite the cost of much needed medical equipment in Chinese orphanage hospitals, such as anesthesia machines and monitoring equipment HONORARY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE I.M.
