Together against rare diseases

The managing directors of SKC Beratungsgesellschaft, Heike Kielhorn-Schönermark and Prof. Dr. med. Matthias P. Schönermark, are once again donating 2,500 euros to support the children's and youth hospital BULT this year.

The hospital's neonatology department is currently being modernized so that a total of 22 intensive care beds for state-of-the-art neonatal treatment will be created by summer 2024 - one of the largest facilities in Germany. At the donation handover, Prof. Dr. med. Matthias P. Schönermark brought helium balloons for the little patients and was enthusiastic about the innovative approaches. He also met Professor Dr. Hagen Ott, chief physician for paediatric dermatology and allergology, with whom SKC has initiated a pro bono project on the care situation for the rare disease epidermolysis bullosa, also known as "butterfly disease". The BULT Advent calendar video from December 20 features Rebekka Drägerdt explaining how she supports the treatment of this rare skin disease as an outreach nurse.
