【新唐人2011年11月19日讯】“结石宝宝之家”创办人赵连海宣布，在政府不作为的背景下，利用民间自筹的资金，启动对“结石宝宝”的全面体检。初步体检结果显示，相当大比例的结石患儿，体内结石依然存在，他说会将这次的体检结果提交，督促政府全面公开信息和履行责任。
“结石宝宝”家长，北京前媒体人赵连海11月12号宣布，在政府不作为的背景下，利用民间自筹的资金十万元，启动民间对“结石宝宝”的全面体检项目。
赵连海：“目前善款是10万多一点，可以启动这个项目。”
他说，这次共提供6项检查，希望了解3年后患儿的最新情况。
赵连海：“大约10来个家长（带患儿）进行了检查，这是我所知道的，反馈回来的信息不是那么乐观，孩子的结石仍然还存在。有的孩子肾脏受到严重的伤害，有肾切除的，有的肾缩的，有的肾功能大幅度的减退的。”
赵连海表示，“结石宝宝之家”目前和300多个家长保持联系，期望通过检查，对患儿有一个大致的评估。
赵连海：“我们期望通过启动这种检查，能对现状的“结石宝宝”有一个大致的评估希望更多的孩子进行检查，只有这个数量多了以后，我们才能了解相对客观的数据。我们截止到明年的2月15号。”
他说这个项目本该在2009年启动，因为他的入狱而搁置，目前再次启动，实际上也是因为政府的不作为。
2008年，中国爆发“三聚氰氨毒奶粉事件”，当局声称，毒奶粉导致全国29.6万名婴幼儿患肾结石，其中有6人死亡。赵连海指出，真正的数字远高于此，整个中国大约有200万以上的患儿。
3年来，一部分“结石宝宝”家长持续进行维权，但屡受当局打压，甚至判刑，赵连海于2009年底被中共当局以“寻衅滋事”罪名正式逮捕，去年11月获“保外就医”，今年夏天他向社会筹募善款，为患儿体检。
江苏“结石宝宝”家长相庆玉：“赵连海作为我们这些结石宝宝家长的代表，对于这个事情，他是对孩子负责任的，就是说政府现在不管，我们通过自己的努力，通过自己的力量，为孩子们的健康，追求一些保障。”
赵连海说，太多患儿的病况仍然存在，有的出现了不同程度的恶化，但政府一直不作为，他们去追究却受到阻拦、打压，导致这个项目无法进行。
赵连海：“09年年初的时候，我们就曾经专门递交过一封公开信给卫生部、中乳协，包括国家信访总局，要求“结石宝宝”每年有一个定期的检查，到09年的时候，年底的时候我们打算大张旗鼓的检查的，但是由于我进了监狱了，这个事情就一直被耽搁下来。”
“毒奶粉事件”发生后，公众要求对涉案“毒奶粉”企业和涉及的政府主管部门追究责任。中共当局也作出表态，设立总额2亿元的医疗赔偿基金，对受“毒奶粉”影响的儿童进行救治和18岁前的免费治疗。
可是，今年5月《瞭望东方周刊》揭露，实际上患儿并没有得到赔偿和救治。2亿元的医疗赔偿基金，在这两年多时间里的赔偿情况、管理运作方式、现金余额都已成谜。
“中国乳制品工业协会”理事长宋昆冈声称，赔偿基金由政府直接管理﹔而实际受托管理这笔基金的中国人寿公司说：这属国家机密，不适宜对外公布。
5月下旬，赵连海和几位家长到“中国乳制品工业协会”反映情况，被公安扣留10个小时。
赵连海始终没有放弃救助患儿，一直呼吁家长带孩子去检查。

Self-Financed Checkups Initiated for Kidney Stone Babies
Home for Kidney Stone Babies (jieshibaobao.com ) founder
Zhao Lianhai, announced that facing the inaction of
the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) authorities,
a self-financed physical examination project was launched to
offer checkups for the children harmed by tainted milk.
The initial examination outcome showed that
a large proportion of kidney stone babies still have kidney stones remaining in their bodies.
Zhao said he would submit the result officially,
pushing the authorities to make the information fully public, to fulfill obligations.
Beijing-based former media professional Zhao Lianhai,
also a father of kidney stone baby harmed by tainted milk,
announced on November 12 that, with the CCP authorities’
inaction, supported by civil society with RMB 100,000 worth of funding,
The Home for Kidney Stone Babies initiated a project to
take a full-scale physical examination of child victims of the 2008 Chinese milk scandal.
Zhao Lianhai: “The donation is a little over RMB 100,000,
that will help us start the project."
Zhao said that this time, six checks would be made first,
so as to learn the latest condition of the kidney stone babies.
Zhao Lianhai: “As far as I know, about a dozen parents
took their kids to go through the checkups.
The feedback is not optimistic, kidney stones still remain
in the children’s bodies.
The kidneys of some children have suffered serious damage,
Some undertook kidney nephrectomy,
some have kidneys which have contracted,
or have substantial renal function damages. “
Zhao Lianhai said that currently, The Kidney Stone Babies
Home keeps in touch with 300 victim parents.
Through the examinations, The Kidney Stone Babies Home
intends to make a general assessment of the condition of afflicted children.
Zhao Lianhai: “We hope that by starting the checkup project,
we may make a general assessment of condition of the children,
so that more child victims are encouraged to come and
have checkups.
A sufficient quantity will help us generate relatively objective
data. The checkup deadline is on February 15, 2012. “
Zhao said that the project could have been started
in 2009, but was laid aside due to his being jailed.
Now they have restarted the project, due to concern over the
CCP authorities’ inaction in the face of reality.
In 2008 in China a melamine-tainted milk incident broke out.
Official data showed that tainted milk had led to 296 000
Infants suffering from kidney stones, including six deaths.
Zhao Lianhai said that the real figure is much higher, with
perhaps over 2 million child victims across China.
In the past three years, the parents of kidney stone babies
continue to safeguard their rights but are suppressed by the CCP authorities,
some have even been sentenced to jail terms.
Zhao Lianhai was arrested in late 2009, charged with
Crime of Provocation and Affray.
Zhao was released on medical parole in Nov.,2010.
This summer, he raised money from society to help
provide checkups for the kidney stones babies.
Xiang Qingyu (Kidney stone baby’s parent, Jiangsu):
“Zhao Lianhai is the representative of our victim’s parents.
He is responsible for the children. At present, the authorities
are not concerned about this issue,
so we make our own effort to seek some security for the
health of these child victims “
Zhao said too many children still suffered from
these conditions. Some had varying degrees of deterioration.
However, the CCP authorities have long been inactive on this,
blocking and suppressing the attempts of the victim’s
parents to investigate, thus not allowing the project to proceed.
Zhao Lianhai: “In early 2009, we submitted an open letter to
the Ministry of Health, China Dairy Industry Association, and the State Administration of Petition.
We require that each year, the kidney stone babies be
offered a regular checkup.
In late 2009, we made high-profile examinations, but I was put
into jail, and so the issue has been set aside until now. ”
After the melamine-tainted milk incident, the public demanded
to be able to ascertain the accountability of the implicated producers and related official departments.
The CCP authorities also made a statement,
claiming to set up a RMB 200-million medical liability compensation fund
for the free treatment of victim children, to continue up until
they reached 18 years of age.
However, this May, the magazine Oriental Outlook revealed
that in reality,
the victim children have not received any compensation,
nor any medical treatment.
As to the RMB 200-million medical liability compensation fund
over past two years, the issues related to compensations,
management operation and cash balances,
have all become a myth.
China Dairy Industry Association president, Song Kungang,
claimed that the compensation fund was directly managed by the CCP authorities.
While China Life Insurance Company, the party that was
entrusted with actual management, said,
“This is a state secret, not appropriate to be released.”
In late May, Zhao Lianhai and several other victim’s parents
went to China Dairy Industry Association to express their concerns, but were detained by the police for 10 hours.
Zhao Lianhai has never given up supporting the victim’s
children. He keeps appealing to victim’s parents to bring their children for checkups.
