In May of this year Azul and Sebastian completed their rehabilitation treatment at COANIQUEM in Santiago, Chile, leaving lives dominated by pain and disfigurement and entering ones full of hope for the future.
Their experiences are typical of children whose treatment lasts for years, as their bodies grow and scar tissue must be monitored.
All treatment is provided free of charge. Treatment includes surgery as needed, psychological and occupational therapy, housing for a parent during the child's treatment, and on-site schooling.
Children from throughout Chile and other Latin American countries come to COANIQUEM for this special treatment.
See the pictures and reports attached to learn of the success stories made possible by COANIQUEM.
