The Joux Valley? This is where the Dufour family lives, in a Swiss mountain valley that is home to thousands of residents of the Vall\u00e9e de Joux and where the hospital has been established for nearly a century. It’s also where the master watchmaker, winner of the 1998 Ga\u00efa Prize, was born in 1948!<\/p>\n

Model and… necessary health centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

It has become a recognised health center, serving the regional population with comprehensive healthcare facilities, including a medical center, maternity ward, 24\/7 emergency room, and integrated community care such as home healthcare services and an elderly care facility.<\/p>\n

With a significant but isolated population (7,000 residents and over 8,000 cross-border workers daily), this hospital plays a crucial role in the regional healthcare infrastructure. The stakes are high, especially in maintaining 24\/7 emergency services.<\/p>\n

Today, the Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour Foundation<\/a> announces the donation of a scanner to the Vall\u00e9e de Joux Hospital, in partnership with the Paul-Edouard Piguet Foundation<\/a> and the Louis Napol\u00e9on Foundation. This donation reflects the Foundation\u2019s commitment to supporting urgent humanitarian needs both locally and internationally, including projects in Madagascar and Peru focusing on community aid and education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
