Summary of Medical and Surgical Interventions for Children with Cerebral Palsy in Mascara
In 2023, a total of 1,235 children suffering from Cerebral Palsy (CP) have received medical examinations and surgical interventions. This initiative was led by the National Association Amel El-Hayat, aimed at safeguarding the health and well-being of children affected by this condition. The president of the association, Sid-Ahmed Mokadem, shared details during a recent medical-surgical camp held at the public hospital Meslem-Tayeb in Mascara.
Overview of the Medical Initiative
The recent medical-surgical camp brought together healthcare professionals from both public and private sectors across various regions, specifically focusing on children with special needs due to CP. It provided assessments and surgical procedures for over 500 children from Mascara and surrounding areas, including Sidi Bel-Abbes, Relizane, and Tiaret. This initiative signifies a broader movement aimed at improving the quality of life for children with motor disabilities.
Medical-Surgical Caravans
The operations executed this year were part of medical-surgical caravans that traveled through several wilayas, including El Tarf, El Oued, Khenchela, Souk Ahras, and the delegated wilaya of Messâad. These caravans mobilized healthcare teams skilled in various medical fields, allowing them to extend their services to a larger population in need.
Future Plans
The association has announced plans for upcoming medical-surgical camps designed to serve more children with CP and individuals requiring specific support. Scheduled between May 20 and June 18, these camps will take place in El Meghaïr, El Meniaâ, Beni Abbes, M’sila, and Ouled Djellal. The aim is to continue providing essential medical services and improving access to care for vulnerable populations.
Conclusion

The collaboration among healthcare professionals embodies a significant stride toward enhancing the health outcomes and quality of life for these children and their families.
