Nous voulons donner la chance  plus d'enfants possibles. Et les cas qu'il va soigner sont ceux qu'on ne peut pas faire ici...". C'est en ces termes que Mme Solange Ghonda, Ambassadrice du chef de l'Etat pour les enfants, a prsent mercredi dernier le programme prliminaire du docteur Vakis Kontoes, spcialiste en mdecine plastique et esthtique, en sjour  Kinshasa. A cette occasion, l'Ambassadeur de Grce en RDC, M. Theocharopoulos, a offert ce mercredi une rception  sa rsidence de la Gombe pour prsenter ce spcialiste et la propritaire de l'Hpital dont il est le Directeur du Dpartement de Mdecine esthtique.</p> <p class="story-body">Fruit de l'initiative prive de MM. Vakis et A. Koukas, avec la facilitation de Mme Ghonda et de L'Ambassadeur grec, la mission vise essentiellement  aider les enfants. Aprs une srie des consultations, quelques malades retenus sur la base des critres mdicaux, feront l'objet d'un voyage en Grce prochainement pour leur gurison aux frais de ces deux bienfaiteurs.

Il s'agit des cas de brlures, des malformations au niveau des mains, de la tte, les becs de livres, a indiqu Dr. Vakis. L'objectif tant de prendre des enfants qui peuvent tre guris beaucoup plus rapidement pour ne pas rester longtemps en dehors de leur pays.</p> <p class="story-body">Mme Ghonda a prcis que cette premire visite de quatre jours n'est qu'une prise de contact pour ces deux bienfaiteurs qui vont revenir, certainement avec une plus grande quipe de spcialistes. Elle a saisi l'occasion pour les remercier et tous ceux qui ont rendu possible leur sjour. "L'appui le plus important est celui du propritaire de l'hpital. Il s'agit d'un hpital, ventuellement le plus grand d'Europe, qui a trois cents lits et 1.100 personnes qui y travaillent", a dclar le diplomate grec, qui a apprci  sa juste valeur cette intervention de ses deux compatriotes en faveur de la population congolaise. Il en a entrevu le dbut d'une coopration qu'il espre troite.</p> <p class="story-body">La premire journe des consultations a permis au Docteur Vakis d'examiner treize patients, gs de 2 mois  6 ans. Dans le lot, trois cas l'ont particulirement frapps: un enfant qui a trois bras, avec un autre moins dvelopp d'un ct; un autre a le crne pas bien ferm, faisant des dformations sur son visage; le 3me" a une oreille pas bien dveloppe; ce qui fait que les nerfs de la face ne sont pas en place. Ces trois cas ncessitent l'intervention de plusieurs mdecins, tandis que les autres sont des cas de becs de livre qu'on peut soigner ici mme.</p> <p class="story-body">3  4 enfants vont alors partir pour des soins en Grce, aux frais et  l'hpital de M. Koukas, le temps de remplir des formalits administratives. "Nous sommes venus ici pour aider ces enfants. C'est une bonne exprience", s'est rjoui M. Koukas dont l'hpital d'Athnes porte un nom grec signifiant la sant. L'initiative de ces deux grecs qui ont laiss leurs malades, leur travail en Grce pour s'occuper  leur frais des congolais doit interpeller tout un chacun. Aujourd'hui, les consultations se poursuivent  la clinique d'Utexafrica, au-del d'une journe scientifique avec les mdecins des Cliniques Universitaires. Arrivs mardi dernier, MM. Koukas et Vakis regagnent la Grce ce dimanche.</p> <!-- end story layout piece here --> <br clear="all" /> <table width="480" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="basic-ninety"> <a href="/browser_sethome.html" class="blue"><strong>Faites d'allAfrica.com votre page d'accueil</strong></a>   </td></tr>  <tr>   <td align="center">     <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" />   </td>  </tr>   <tr><td align="center"> <span class="text-nav"> <b> <a class="blue" href="#top">Dbut&nbsp;de&nbsp;page</a>&nbsp;| <a class="blue" href=http://allafrica.com/stories/200302240391.html>English&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/howto.html">Plan&nbsp;du&nbsp;Site</a> | <a class="blue" href="/whoweare.html">Qui&nbsp;Nous&nbsp;Sommes</a> | <a class="blue" href="javascript:void 0" onMouseOver="window.status='Publicit'; return true;" onclick="window.open('/media_kit/frames.html?page=main', 'Publicit', 'scrollbars,toolbar=no,location=no,nonresizable,width=600,height=600,left=0,top=0').focus()">Publicit</a>&nbsp; </b> </span>  <tr><td align="center"> <hr align="left" size="1" width="480" /> </td></tr> <tr><td align="center" class="copy"> <a class="blue" href="/copyright.html"><u>Copyright</u></a> &copy; 2003 Le Phare.
