Some 200 hearing-impaired children are born every year in Slovakia and up to 95 per cent are born to parents with no hearing impairment. Proper diagnosis and treatment from the first months of their lives would give them a chance not to lag behind their peers.
Since summer we have been campaigning to raise awareness and collect money to help with early diagnosis of hearing impaired children in Slovakia.
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for giving hearing-impaired children a chance to live an adequate life. But in Slovakia, we are lacking both the experts as well as the technology. Parents have to therefore often travel with their hearing-impaired children to Brno or even Prague to get an early diagnosis. You too can help us collect the money we need to start the First Children’s Audiocentre at the Children’s University Hospital in Bratislava, which will serve everyone in Slovakia. You too can give hearing-impaired children a chance for a better life.
So far we have collected 25% of the resources we need. If you can please help. Here is more information in this article.
