Welcome to the Stiftung NOAH
Welcome to the Stiftung NOAH, an independent non-profit foundation aiming to enable the parents of children suffering from serious medical conditions to provide the highest quality of care in their own home.
Download the Stiftung NOAH Tracheostomy Care Guide as a PDF file
The Stiftung NOAH website has now commenced regular service, providing a wealth of child-care related material in German on these pages. Topics include children with tracheotomies, enteral nutrition and general information about disabilities, so if you can understand German, please do have a look.
Sadly, as a result of concentrating our resources on the creation of our German-language material, the majority of our English-language offerings have had to be discontinued. If you wish to contact the Stiftung NOAH, you can do so via E-Mail.
Tracheostomy Care Guide
However, we do still — and will continue to — offer the Stiftung NOAH Tracheostomy Care Guide in English as a viewable, downloadable and printable PDF file. The Care Guide is divided into eight chapters and deals with all aspects of child tracheostomy care in great detail.
