Children's Hope: Help to the Dnepropetrovsk OCCCC 3

 "Children's Hope" is a social initiative launched by Kyivstar in late 2018 together with the Ukrainian Philanthropic Marketplace (UPM). The goal of the project is to help children with heart defects and cancer by purchasing the necessary equipment for Ukrainian hospitals. In 2023, the care was extended to children with burns. In the summer of 2025, the initiative will start helping children's intensive care units.

In July-August 2025, the Dnipro Regional Clinical Center for Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery will receive assistance under the Cardiology project.

The Center includes the Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, which provides highly specialized care to children from different regions - not only from the Dnipro region but also from neighboring ones. Every year, about 250-300 complicated surgeries are performed here, most of which involve the use of artificial blood circulation. The medical team helps patients of all ages, including newborns and premature babies.

The funds raised will be used to purchase:

- Mini LED Surgical Headlamp - 2 pcs. This illuminator is very important during heart surgery and provides clear, focused illumination. High-quality light helps the doctor work accurately and safely - especially when it comes to a small child's heart.

This equipment will allow doctors to provide even better and safer care to children with heart disease.
