The improvement in the health of the children is obvious to all, it is a testament to the dedication and care of the specialised Doctors and Nurses working with ORM. ORM's integrated approach to health means that these children can concentrate on being children knowing that there is someone there to care for them, no matter what the problem.

While health is only one of ORM's many programmes, we consider it one of the most important programmes that we have ever undertaken. To see happy and healthy children is the greatest gift of all. They are some of the bravest children we have ever encountered, they have faced some of life's great challenges and risen above them. Below you will find a small snapshot of just some of the work encountered by the ORM medical team during the years.
