Help for poor kids in accidents

WITH the summer holiday peak season for injuries to children here, the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University is providing an aid system, along with a charity foundation created by Longhua Temple, to offer financial support to poor children injured in accidents.

A total of 14 children have been covered by the foundation since mid-May and account for 70 percent of children hospitalized in the intensive care unit with accidental injuries, the hospital said yesterday.

Since July 1, its ICU has received seven children with accidents, including three cases of poisoning and two traffic accidents.

“There are many more accident victims in the summer said hospital official Wang Juliang. “Some parents are poor. So the fund is to give them hope to treat their children.”
