Overview of activities and publications related to medical research

"Scientific research within the framework of a competence centre is essential. The result is a methodology that allows the surgeon to be at the forefront of knowledge and to bring the best therapeutic choices to patients based on a solid argument." PD Dr. M. Assal

Morija Humanitarian Association

Clinique La Colline donated its operating room equipment to the Kaya Centre for the Disabled in 2009, at the instigation of Dr. Dominique Hügli, orthopedic surgeon. Since then, the clinic supports and supports its cooperation with the Morija association in different ways: financial, material, human support, a photo exhibition initiated in 2016 at the clinic and in partnership with the HES-SO Geneva.   

"The whole team brings exceptional energy to Kaya. Patients and their families place enormous trust in us. They often invest us with magical powers and sometimes hope for the impossible. My work is like a few drops of water lost in the middle of a river.
We are working to pass on our knowledge in order to ensure a succession. It's a long-term effort, the outcome is fragile but the stakes are worth it." Dr. D. Hügli  

Heart for India

Established in 2005, the Heart for India Foundation is a non-political, non-governmental and non-religious foundation.

At the same time, HFI supports vocational training and offers a unique opportunity for young women who have successfully completed high school to obtain a diploma and find long-term and qualified employment. For this, Heart for India develops a 360° aid model that revolves around 4 axes: Education, Nutrition, Hygiene and Health, Safety and Security.
