EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the High Altitude Clinic of Dr. Auguste Rollier at Le Sepey in Switzerland, established in 1926. Nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Cergnat, this clinic was renowned as a beacon of hope for children suffering from tuberculosis (TB) and respiratory conditions. Dr. Rollier, affectionately known as 'The Sun Doctor,' was a pioneer in heliotherapy, a form of sunlight therapy that harnessed the power of the sun to aid in the healing process. Children, dressed in warm hats to protect them from the intense alpine sun, are seen engaging in a playful tug-of-war game under the watchful eyes of dedicated nursing staff. The serene and picturesque setting of Le Sepey, with its pristine mountain air and abundant sunlight, provided the ideal environment for the unique treatment regimen. The clinic's philosophy centered around the therapeutic benefits of sunlight exposure, which was believed to boost the immune system and improve overall health. Patients were carefully monitored and treated with a personalized plan that included sunbathing, fresh air, and nutritious meals. The dedicated team of nurses and staff ensured that each child received the best possible care during their stay. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the remarkable work carried out at the High Altitude Clinic of Dr. Auguste Rollier at Le Sepey, offering a glimpse into the past and the innovative approaches to healthcare that continue to inspire us today.
