Benin
In Benin, many poor families do not have access to quality paediatric medical care. In order for children suffering from serious pathologies to be taken care of, transfers to Europe and surgical missions on site in a dedicated to paediatric surgery are organised. Terre des hommes (Tdh) has two main aims in Benin: to facilitate access to specialised care locally and to ensure health transfers to Europe of complex cases of children who cannot be operated in their country.
