FUNDING TO HELP SPONSOR R&D

to develop state-of-the-art surgery by means of natural orifices therapeutic endoscopy, treat rare diseases, and share the latest advancements with the medical and scientific community.

The vocation of the Michel Cremer Foundation is to develop and improve low risk therapeutic endoscopy.  A non-invasive medicine where the patient is not “opened”, therapeutic endoscopy should be implemented through a close cooperation between physicians and engineers.

Primarily due to the lack of financing, we need help so we can sustain our work on this highly sophisticated method, which presents great advantages for the patient.

Our goals are to cure and treat diseases such as diabetes and morbid obesity, but also to prevent colon cancer. Improving the patient’s well-being and reducing hospital stays are direct consequences of our research.

We would be most grateful for your donations. You can make a single donation as well as periodic donations via permanent order in favor of the Michel Cremer Foundation. Several possibilities are open :

La Fondation bénéficie de la déductibilité fiscale : tout don est déductible dès 40 €.

  • to share all technical and medical knowledge, including in developing countries.

SUPPORT THE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH CENTER

Bring your stone to the building of the interdisciplinary development center.

Also understand that the integration of research and education through interdisciplinary training prepares workforce that undertakes scientific challenges in innovative tools. 

The main characteristic of such in house workforce and training programs will help to develop novel endoscopic instruments and to educate end-users the peculiarities of their use.

The aim of the platform is

  • to promote quality therapeutic endoscopy offering innovative solutions
  • to implement a distance education opportunity.

To address the needs the center will serve the staff who operate in hospital in simulation rooms and an auditorium for meetings and education sessions

In the auditorium an education distance learning equipment will allow for the live broadcast of endoscopic procedures achieved at Erasmus Hospital and other institutions to share largely data and results as well as in developing countries

DONATION SUBJECT TO USUFRUCT

When a donation is subject to usufruct, the donor has the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits or profits of something belonging to another. Usufruct is related to different possessions: real estate, debts, savings, shares, securities, savings bonds, etc. You can donate the capital you saved but keep the financial interests. Or, giving a building but continue to collect rent or live in yourself. The usufruct lapses when the donor dies. The recipient becomes the full owner. No inheritance tax is due on the usufruct. A donation subject to usufruct should be registered by notary in-deed.
