Running for the sake of saving little lives. Olena Suyetova

ОElena Suetova, a public figure, finanatalitik, marketer, volunteer and just a very good girl joined the team of CF "Svichado" to save premature babies, small patients of the department of neonatal care of the Berdyansk territorial medical association.

"I have been helping premature babies for many years, this problem is very underestimated by the state and people. Every year in the world, about 15 000 000 children are born prematurely, this is an average of every 10. Children in Ukraine – every 20th. The prematurely born children are a special category: they are very tiny and weak, they have immature body functions, they need specialized medical care and modern medical equipment. My goal is to help doctors do their job better!".

During the Charity Marathonof Wizz Air Kiyv City Marathon 2017 Elena collects funds for the purchase of an infusion pump in the department of neonatal care of the Berdyansk territorial medical association. Having been born before 32 weeks, prematurely born children can not always make their first breath themselves. The life of these kids depends entirely on modern medical equipment. Carrying out the right infusion therapy for such children is possible only with the help of special devices – syringe pumps that supply liquid for intravenous nutrition with precisely calculated speed and protects the vessels of the brain from overloading with liquid. The pump is designed to deliver medicines with high accuracy at both high and low infusion rates. The pump has a monitoring and alarm system, as well as a built-in battery. All this ensures a continuous operation of the pump during transportation of the patient or when the power is cut off, as well as monitoring the proper operation of the pump, triggering an audible alarm, determining its cause.

The aim of the project is to buy a modern syringe pump that will help doctors of the Berdyansk territorial medical association to conduct the correct infusion therapy for small crumbs. All children should have equal chances for health! Therefore, we ask for your help!
